ALFRED DUNHILL LINKS CHAMPIONSHIP


October 6, 2012


Alexander Noren


CARNOUSTIE & KINGSBARNS, SCOTLAND

Q.  Must be nice to finish with a birdie there?
ALEXANDER NOREN:  Yeah, that was good.  It was so easy, I played great on the front nine, played okay on the back, but I just didn't get as close as I did on the front.  It's a little bit tougher on the back, as well.

Q.  You started on 29, the first birdie, back nine‑‑
ALEXANDER NOREN:  10,11, 12 was quite easy, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, is quite‑‑ a little bit more difficult.  And 18 is a bit easier.  But yeah, it was a fun round.  Nice playing partners.  It helps a lot.

Q.  Were you hoping that this was the course where you would post another low score?
ALEXANDER NOREN:  Yeah, I know Carnoustie is not that easy, and you've got to play really well to shoot low there.  So I came back to level par there, which I was happy about, and then I think today, I knew it was easier and you have a lot of‑‑ it's not super easy.  I played probably the best I've played on the front nine today, of the whole year.

Q.  Of the whole year?
ALEXANDER NOREN:  Yeah, I played great.  It's easy when you're playing good, but it's not a gimmie.

Q.  What happened with the eagle on the third?
ALEXANDER NOREN:  Hit a 3‑wood really close to about six feet.

Q.  That's always nice to start like that.  You've got a local caddie I understand, has he been really helpful for you?
ALEXANDER NOREN:  Yeah, he knows the lines, where to come in from.  So he's helped out a lot and gave me some good lines, and he knows all the slopes.  It's nice.

Q.  He's delighted to see you playing well.
ALEXANDER NOREN:  Yeah, he's delighted.

Q.  Tomorrow a bit of work to do to get Grace?
ALEXANDER NOREN:  Well, there's always a chance around St. Andrews, you get it going, and we'll see what the weather is like.  Post a strong one on the front nine, you may have a chance, you never know.

Q.  You might be playing with Fredrik?
ALEXANDER NOREN:  Yeah, I've known him since I got on Tour, really nice guy.  Playing really well.
