Quick Quotes

Q. Congratulations on a wonderful round of golf. Second day in a row, level-par on the front nine, you lit it up on the back nine, 31 yesterday, 30 today. Coincidence, or is there something going on?

NICOLAI HØJGAARD: Yeah, it's a little bit like last week as well. Had a slow start in every round, basically. And then I just know on every round there's going to be a run of birdies at some point with where my game is at. So it's about staying patient.

But I would like to play the front nine a little bit better in the weekend. But I'm very, very satisfied with how I'm playing these two rounds.

Q. Where is your confidence level right now? Obviously second last weekend, and the confidence you must have got from the Ryder Cup, being part of the winning team there.

NICOLAI HØJGAARD: Yeah, I mean, I trust my game at the moment. It's been a little bit shaky at times this year, but I feel like we're on track at the moment. I feel like I've got confidence in my shots, the selections of shots, the game plan we've put in place every round.

So, yeah, very happy with how it's going.

Q. Eight top 10s so far this year, a couple of second places. How excited about the possibility you've got one better in the last event of the season?

NICOLAI HØJGAARD: That would be pretty cool, yeah. I feel like that's the only thing I missed this season. But there's two rounds to go. There's a lot of really good players in this field I know that's going to be in the hunt the next few days, and I'm going to keep grinding as much as I can and putt myself around, hopefully, and we'll see on Sunday.
