Quick Quotes

Q. 67 to go with yesterday's 65. Talk about your day today out there.

ANGEL HIDALGO: Well, completely different. I would say, I already said to my caddie, I feel every shot today. Yesterday, I was completely blind and I was just hitting the ball and I don't know why it was directly to the pin.

But today I played really good. Today I played really good. Two bad drivers to finish the round on 4 and 7, two pretty easiest, probably, the birdie chances from the back nine for me today.

But yeah, really happy with the way I play, and yeah, it's good.

Q. After 36 holes, what do you think the keys are to play well around here?

ANGEL HIDALGO: I need to play good from the tee. Especially this week, the rough is not the same on every part, so you can have a really luck or bad luck, so you are in position with the preferred lies, is a big advantage. Yeah, being in position is important this week.

Q. Yesterday we saw you not holding back with your driver, which I've seen you do before. How is it today? Were you doing exactly the same?

ANGEL HIDALGO: Well, yes, but I don't -- I don't have any driver to have the chance to Smash it with the wind from my back. I definitely think on 12 there was, but there was no camera so no one saw.

I don't know, the guys from Cobra made for me to try to not break more shafts. Still working, and I wish I can finish the tournament with the same shaft.
