Quick Quotes

Q. You've played some fabulous rounds of golf this year, but conditions like that, how good is that 68?

JOOST LUITEN: It was good. It was tricky. A lot of crosswinds. The wind up and down, as well, and strong.

So 4-under, I'm pretty happy, and yeah, let's see what the other guys do.

Q. You went into the final round last week in the lead. Obviously didn't quite work out and you missed out by a shot. How did you put that disappointment behind you and come back here and go straight back in?

JOOST LUITEN: Yeah, it took a couple days to get over that one, and especially the first round for me, it was tough to get into tournament golf again because I felt like I wasn't over it yet.

But sometimes the best thing to get over things is playing rounds of golf and put yourself under pressure again, and you know, it helps if you have a decent opening round of 3-under and gets you into this tournament.

Once the tournament started here, I just said to myself, all right, just forget it and move on.

Q. You said that if you keep knocking on that door, it will open. How excited are you to have another opportunity?

JOOST LUITEN: I'll keep knocking and I'll keep trying. I'm playing good, so it will open some day. You know, if I can keep doing what I did today, hole some putts and stay out of trouble, that would be good.
