ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND
Q. A round of 66 to go with yesterday's 68 at Carnoustie; how did your play compare on the two days?
MICHAEL HOEY: Probably needed‑‑ I made five birdies in a row yesterday which is the most I've ever made in a row was four previously and that really got me going, because I was 1‑over at Carnoustie and I thought I needed to turn it around.
Hit a few good wedge shots and holed a couple of putts, and that really‑‑ it was looking borderline yesterday and from then I kicked on and holed a few putts and hit the ball pretty good.
Q. Today you said you went around without a five, and that's just the first time, isn't it?
MICHAEL HOEY: Yeah, my caddie said to me, no fives, probably the first time ever. But perfect conditions. I mean, links, absolutely no wind; everyone is tearing it apart. But you still have to do it. You still have to get the ball in the hole.
Q. Do you get a warm glow when you come back here right from the moment you arrive because you've won this championship in the past.
MICHAEL HOEY: Yeah, great feelings. Love the golf courses; Carnoustie, Kingsbarns, doesn't get any better and we've been lucky with the weather. Playing partners are great fun. Just trying to feed off the positivity.
Q. Your only Top‑20 this year is a win; how do you explain that?
MICHAEL HOEY: My stats are quite weird but I'm up‑and‑down, but I will get more consistency eventually. I've got a good coach now, and a couple good coaches here helping me stay on track. That's the plan.
