Troon, South Ayrshire, Scotland, UK
Mixed Zone
Q. How do you reflect on the round?
HENRIK STENSON: Yeah, it was tough conditions, playing the front nine in a not so common wind, nothing we practised this week really and nothing I've played in in past -- I've only played here once in '16, but I've never experienced that strong into on the front nine. It was more of a flipped one today where you kind of got to hang on on the front nine and then you'll have it a little bit easier coming home. Normally it's the other way around.
Q. Having had a look back at 2016, when you won there, you played the 8th in level par over the four rounds. Obviously took 6 today. I wondered if you could reflect on that hole and what you were thinking, what happened?
HENRIK STENSON: Yeah, I was just going to play a little dinky wedge, but looking back at it, I was debating whether to go with a 52 and then kind of decided on the little chippy wedge and let it go a little bit right, landed by the pin and ended up in a bunker, downhill lie. I didn't hit a great shot -- it was a difficult spot, but I kind of missed the shot, as well, and then unfortunately it rolled back in a bit of a bad rake job kind of in the middle of the bunker, and then I couldn't get that one up, so then that plugged right under the lip and then I had to go sideways and make up-and-down for 6.
It's always a dangerous place to be, and yeah, unfortunately it cost two more than you'd hope.
Q. You're known for being kind of ice cool. How were the emotions when it was taking three to get --
HENRIK STENSON: I was coming in here unfortunately with pretty low energy, and I didn't even feel like I got that upset.
