Quick Quotes

Q. Lovely to see you back here at The Belfry, obviously incredibly great and fond memories from last year. What's it feel coming back here as defending champion?

DANIEL HILLIER: Yeah, it was weird seeing the poster of my face out in front of the hotel. But yeah, it feels great to be back. Obviously coming back and walking around, and you see flashbacks from the year before, and yeah, it's all pretty cool feeling.

Just come off a nice three-week break. So I'm feeling pretty fresh, and hopefully I can try and recreate some of those memories.

Q. Not too much jet-lag from that long flight from New Zealand?

DANIEL HILLIER: It's about bedtime right now; so feeling it a little bit. But actually had a good night's sleep last night at least. So should be right by Thursday.

Q. What emotions do you have coming back here to The Belfry after that incredible win last year?

DANIEL HILLIER: Yeah, just trying to soak it up, really. It's been a pretty big year, and I've just, yeah, basically been looking forward to this event for a while now. And you know, now that I'm back here, I can sort of soak it up and relive some of those memories of last year.

Q. What stands out from that last round, that 66. 15, 16 and 17 were obviously massive holes for you.

DANIEL HILLIER: Absolutely. I haven't seen that stretch yet this year to properly soak it all in again, but yeah, I mean, it was obviously pretty amazing way to finish off last year. And yeah, so hopefully try and take advantage of those holes again.
