"It was a really good day for me," said the Frenchman. "My driving and my iron game were not very good, I was really far from the pins but I only made one three-putt - my putting was really good and that was the key today.

"I played some bad shots but I made some good shots, otherwise I would not have shot three under."

"I try to avoid watching the leaderboard, I try to focus on my concentration and it’s a very demanding course.

"Anything can happen at every hole and so I just try to play safe and in the good areas on a difficult golf course.

"My learning from Hillside is to stay patient, stay focused and concentrate on your own game, that’s all."
