Press Conference

Q. 70 today, what are your thoughts coming off that?

RASMUS HØJGAARD: It's very much the same as yesterday. Poor out of the tee box and then having to scramble my way around. So yeah, I need to fix my tee shots a little bit for the weekend. But the rest of the game feels okay once I'm in position.

Q. You mentioned it yesterday after your round that you were going to go and do a little bit of work. Did you find anything?

RASMUS HØJGAARD: Yeah, I started to hit it a little better on the range. It didn't really show that early on in the round today but I got to put a bit more work on the range and see if I can sharpen it a little bit.

Q. How frustrating is it that it's one part of your game that's not a hundred percent?

RASMUS HØJGAARD: I guess that's what golf is about. Sometimes it's very good in the long game and you can't hole a putt and this time, I'm a bit wide off the tee, having to scramble my way around.

But again, I'm putting very nicely, and I'm hitting some good iron shots on the par 3s and when I'm in the fairways. Yeah, I'm not too frustrated about it. Just need to sharpen it up.

Q. A lot of positives to take; could be a really low one out there.

RASMUS HØJGAARD: Yeah, if everything starts coming together, there is a low one out there. But again, there's a lot of good stuff in there these two days. You know, I've just got to work on it more.

Q. Heading into the weekend, what's the game plan?

RASMUS HØJGAARD: There's not much difference. Just trying to set up as many birdie chances out there as possible and try and keep the bogeys away. Yeah, hopefully a low one comes.
