Quick Quotes

Q. An assessment today's round and how you felt out there.

JENS FAHRBRING: Yeah, coming into the week, it's been like that all year. I haven't really felt great being away for almost 15 months, and then sort of playing, you know, at the end of June, so I feel like my feels aren't quite where I want them to be.

But obviously in a good place mentally. I think sometimes when you have that feeling, it makes you sort of September the outcome of every shot, and that's what I did really, really well this week. And I got some momentum in each round, and then today, as well. I'm super pleased, super proud of myself for playing the way I did because you know, I haven't been in the situation before. I played probably like 12 holes with my forearms all numb. I'm very pleased.

Q. Talking about the forearms being numb, was that just of nerves or not having that feel for the game?

JENS FAHRBRING: Yeah, a bit of both, I think. Obviously you want to do well when you're in this position but then you feel like, for example, at the start of the week, I was standing over the ball. I had no clue, no idea of how to start the swing almost on some shots.

And then you start to play well, you play yourself into each round, and so I was a little bit scared of it today, you know, to get those sort of feelings back.

But for some reason, they never showed today, and I kept fighting and made some silly mistakes, 100 percent because of the nerves. It's the same for everybody.

Q. How did you feel then mentally this week, as you said, from the start of Thursday's round and to where you are now?

JENS FAHRBRING: Yeah, mentally, I was quite okay. I just tried to sort of, with the feeling I had, I just tried to stay as creative as I possibly could out there. I think when you try to be creative, it's easier to see the opportunities. So I did a good job of that each round.

And yeah, I'm super happy with the week.

Q. Looking ahead to like the next few weeks, as well, because you've still got work to do, but where does this week then help you go moving forward?

JENS FAHRBRING: Obviously it's a big confidence boost for sure. It's always tough being away. There's new guys coming out and you're not quite sure where your game -- if your game holds up, but big confidence boost, and I hope I can stay in my mental place for the rest of the season and just keep playing the way I am.
