ISPS HANDA WALES OPEN


June 1, 2012


Raphael Jacquelin


NEWPORT, WALES

Q.  After your opening 76 yesterday, you must have gone out wondering what you needed but you pretty well got what you needed.
RAPHAËL JACQUELIN:  Yeah, very happy with the 6‑under par today.  Conditions were a lot easier today but still, good feel with my game, especially after the wind, was not too bad.  Have been practising a lot to find a rhythm and find a feeling and confidence a little bit back.  So, I'm back.

Q.  What was the difference today?  Was it your playing or was the course setup just slightly easier in these good conditions?
RAPHAËL JACQUELIN:  A little bit of everything.  Setup was easier.  Playing a little bit softer, as well, on the greens.  Still firm but easier to stop the ball with short shots, as well, compared to yesterday.
Yesterday was really, really difficult, and I finished badly with a double‑bogey on 18.  So the rest was pretty steady and solid yesterday.
So just keep trying and keep the confidence, because, yeah, I'm back, as I said, I'm feeling all right, so let's go and try to shoot low for the rest of the weekend.

Q.  Do you feel it helped you a little bit with some water on the greens last night?  Did it feel that way?
RAPHAËL JACQUELIN:  Yes, definitely, it was a little bit softer, but as I said, with the conditions, there's no wind today, just a little breeze, nothing much.  So you can go for the greens.

Q.  So, you're back.  But where have you been?
RAPHAËL JACQUELIN:  Not too far.

Q.  And where do you go from here?
RAPHAËL JACQUELIN:  Next week to Sweden and then the U.S. Open.  So practising hard to be ready for these big, big majors.
