THE IRISH OPENJune 30, 2013Gareth ShawKILDARE, IRELAND Q. When you bogeyed the first two holes today, what was in your head? GARETH SHAW: Par the next. Got up the green and to putted. Got off to a shaky stat, missed a short putt and then hit a great pitch shot and on 2, hit a poor wedge shot, spun it back off the green and missed another putt. But steadied the ship and pitched in on 4 and that changed my outlook I suppose, my confidence, my belief, just momentum. It really shifted momentum. Q. And you played the last 16 at 5‑under, which in these conditions, you must be very pleased with? GARETH SHAW: Yeah, I'm delighted. Obviously I eagled 13, is it, the driver I hit on the middle of the green there, I hit a good tee shot and held about a 45‑footer and that was a real bonus. It was the first long putt I held all week and going into those final five holes, the wind off the left, getting gusty, it steadied the ship and gave me a bit of breathing space, so delighted, absolutely. Q. Massive step for you in your career, prospect now if you can stay in the Top‑10, a place in France next week? GARETH SHAW: Yeah, that was the goal I suppose going out. After the first two holes, it was like, go on, just make it respectable and just kept going and going and it just got good. Delighted how I handled myself, the crowd, first experience. Yeah, absolutely buzzing. Q. Irish Open for the first time as a professional? GARETH SHAW: Yeah. Q. What's your feelings about playing in that now? GARETH SHAW: Yeah, it's great. It's great to be here. It's where I'm working hard to get here and where I feel I belong and this is the case‑‑ the margins of where I'm playing on The Challenge Tour and the main tour, a few breaks here and there and a bit of luck along the way. It's good incentive, you know.
