Quick Quotes

Q. Callum, congratulations. You've progressed nicely, through to the next round of matches. How are you feeling?

CALLUM SCOTT: I feel very good. I'm excited to get going tomorrow again. It's been a long week, but I had some great matches, and I played some really nice golf.

So I'm looking forward to the test tomorrow and see what it brings.

Q. Let's start with the morning match. Can you give us a quick summary of what happened there?

CALLUM SCOTT: Yeah. It was pretty even going through about five holes there. And then I made a couple birdies and managed to get up pretty early. And then I just kept it there, kept playing consistently good golf. And that got me at like 4-up at one point, and I just kind of stayed there and managed to close it out. So it was good.

Q. And then a summary of this afternoon's match.

CALLUM SCOTT: Yeah, this afternoon, we both played really solid golf. We were all-square through 12. It was pretty back-and-forth, 1-up, all-square, 1-down, that kind of thing.

But managed to pretty much spin off three birdies in a row in 13 and he conceded, but I was in a good spot and then made two great birdies on 14 and 15 to go 3-up with three to play and then just made par and that was enough. So really good.

Q. When you're playing really good golf like that to win your matches, does that give you a lot of confidence?

CALLUM SCOTT: Absolutely. Yeah. I'm playing off a lot of confidence right now, just with the run I've had in these last few weeks. So I'm excited for tomorrow.

Q. Getting quite deep into the championship, and there is a lot on offer for the champion. Does the mind start wandering?

CALLUM SCOTT: Yes. I mean, when you get this far into this tournament, obviously those thoughts start to creep in. But I feel like I've had a lot of experience with tournaments like this and the likes of a Walker Cup with a lot of nerves and what's at stake, and I think I'm handling myself pretty well with the situation I'm in. So, yeah, I think the experience has definitely helped with what's to come.
