“I played really solid, got off to a good start today. I’m driving it well at the moment so I’m trying to play it quite aggressive and the last two days have been pretty good off the tee so that’s the reason why I’m shooting these scores. It was a good day.

“I’m just thinking about the par fives, playing them four under and then seeing if I can make birdie on the rest of the holes.”

“I’m trying to focus on the things I can control which is commitment and trying to free up and so far I’m happy with it. I had really good commitment and I’m just trying to free up on every shot and it felt good.

“You want to be in these positions going into the final round but it’s 18 holes and a lot can happen. I’m going to try and do the same things, commitment and free up on the course, and I feel like I have a good chance.”
