Carnoustie, Angus, Scotland
Carnoustie Golf Links
Quick Quotes
Q. 71 around Carnoustie which is always daunting, how do you feel about that one?
THOMAS BJØRN: Good. I had a bad prep week. I had a bad thumb and had an injection in it on Tuesday, and yesterday, actually, I didn't think I could play. So that was bad prep.
Got out there and just tried to make pars to be honest with you, just get myself around the golf course. It's better than it's been, so that's a lovely round to have in the bank, really.
For me, where I was yesterday, could only go around wrong if I played. It was nice to get through it. So try and build from here and get a little bit better.
Q. You were made an Honorary Life Member of the DP World Tour the other day. What did that mean to you?
THOMAS BJØRN: It's humbling in a lot of ways. You know, when you set out on a career, you have your hopes and dreams about where it's going to go, and mind far exceeded anything I've ever dreamed of in my career, and I've been around for a long time. I love that tour, you know, what was The European Tour, what is the DP World Tour.
I love everything about that tour, and it's given me a life. It's given me an unbelievable way of seeing the world and doing things, and you know, I've dedicated a lot of time to the Tour in my time, as well, and to get that recognition from your board and from people around the Tour is humbling, and it's something I'll treasure a lot.
I think when you know you're coming to the end of your career in some way, it's nice that you can look back at things and say, well, you know, I did a lot, or I dedicated a lot to the Tour; and it's not in my world -- it's not for my achievements on the golf course. It's a lot more for the things I've done off the golf course and for the Tour.
So yeah, humbling experience but happy.
