Quick Quotes

Q. What was it like for you today being in a group with Scottie?

LUDVIG Ã…BERG: It was a very cool dynamic. It feels like it's a little different from a normal tournament even though we are playing very well. So it was very cool to be next to those two guys, and whenever you're playing with them, you expect good golf and that's what did he did today.

Q. Were there specific moments where you stopped and you're like, I'm playing in the Olympics?

LUDVIG Ã…BERG: Actually, on No. 1 and 2, almost like a big bowl where throws two holes go. So that's a very cool place, and the golf course is so great because of every hole kind of like going in. So the fans are standing up top and they can see a lot. You can definitely feel that almost stadium atmosphere.

Q. How would you sum up your round?

LUDVIG Ã…BERG: I thought it was decent. Scored pretty well. Obviously would have loved to be a little bit more in the shorter grass off the tee on the back nine but felt like I handled it quite well and gave myself the chances where I could, and then took advantage of a few par saves.

Would love to be a little bit straighter off the tee tomorrow, and hopefully we can sharpen that up.

Q. Did you get a sense early that the scores were going to be so good?

LUDVIG Ã…BERG: Yeah, when the wind is down and the greens are relatively receptive, yes, there's always going to be good scores. But it's a great golf course because you still have to hit the shot, and if you don't hit the shot, you're going to be punished.

It's a great golf course and looking forward to the next couple days.

Q. The final four, especially.

LUDVIG Ã…BERG: Yeah, you get a lot of water, you need to stay on the right side of the pins and the fairways. But it's a cool place.
