Quick Quotes

Q. 61, your lowest ever professional round, starting with a bogey, you must be very, very happy.

RASMUS NEERGAARD-PETERSEN: It's a funny way to start the day. Hit it on the fairway and hit it on the green to probably 25 feet. Obviously the green speeds can vary a bit course to course. I blasted it by eight feet and missed. Not the start I wanted.

But after that, the putter was great today. I think I hit all 18 greens as well and you combine that with a hot putter, and, yeah, 61.

Q. What is it about this golf course that suited you so well today?

RASMUS NEERGAARD-PETERSEN: We got early and there wasn't hardly any wind the first four or five holes sore so. I hit the ball in the fairway. I just kept hitting to my spots and kept hit to go between ten and 20 feet and was just making them. It's one of those days where I felt like almost couldn't do any wrong, and yeah as you said, lowest round as a professional. It was awesome. It's always fun when you get on a run like that.

Q. Obviously played very well this year, winning three teams on The Challenge Tour, even though you're out on the DP World Tour, does it feel different?

RASMUS NEERGAARD-PETERSEN: Yeah, you know the setup is more bigger, more spectators, and the whole thing around the tournament, as well.

When we tee it up on the first hole, it's still just a round of golf and that's the same mentality I'm just going to keep having with me.

Q. And are you enjoying the team aspect, playing with Huey Lewis, a bit of a legend?

RASMUS NEERGAARD-PETERSEN: Yeah, we had a good time. He asked me on the first hole on Thursday what he had to do, and I told him, just have a good time. You know, just kind of keep everyone loose and then have a good time. That helps me, as well, if I'm in a good mood and I'm playing well. Yeah, it's been awesome.
