COLOGNE, GERMANY
PAUL McGINLEY: Obviously the big, gaping thing in the week is what happened yesterday, five 3‑putts. I don't think I've ever had five 3‑putts in a round of golf in my life before. I lost my speed on the greens and lost my confidence. But that was a good reaction today to come back and shoot the score I did today, so I'm pleased.
Obviously I've got to give some thought as to what happened yesterday: Why did I lose my speed, why did I lose my confidence. I'll give some thought to that over the next few days but get ready for next week.
But it was a good reaction today. I had a good think about my putting last night, and the greens were ‑‑ a bit of moisture on the greens today. They were not as dry as they were yesterday, and when there's a bit of moisture on them, they run a bit smoother.
Q. These are difficult conditions once again? I know we've had varying conditions all across the week.
PAUL McGINLEY: Difficult conditions, difficult breeze. Yeah, to be honest, I like the breeze so I I'm hoping it's going to be breezy next week, as well, too, which I think there's a good chance of that.
Q. I presume you take satisfaction from the face you've pulled yourself back into the good placings.
PAUL McGINLEY: Very much so, yeah, very much so. Looks like it will be a Top‑10 again, and that will be three Top‑10s in four tournaments and a long time since I've done that.
It's a real thrill to be playing good golf again and to be back up at the right end of the leaderboard. It's been a few barren years and it's a real thrill and a lot of excitement.
Q. And to elaborate on Portrush, it's good to go there in good form?
PAUL McGINLEY: It's good to go there in good form. I'm looking forward to it. It's one of my favourite golf courses in the whole world. I've played there a lot over the years and played there last month with my son. I'm really looking forward to playing it.
