Anton 6767. How do you evaluate your your first two rounds here at the Genesis Scottish Open? No, overall I’m pretty happy with my game. Um I hit the ball very very nicely. Rolled it well on the greens. I um I left a few shots out there um where I shouldn’t have, but I guess this is Lynx golf. We all make silly mistakes out here. So um no, I’m as I said, I’m I’m pretty happy. Um two more days. We we’re very lucky with the the weather this week. It’s uh one of the best country in the world for sure when the weather is like this. So uh um yeah enjoying enjoying myself so far. I know there’s some intricacies with the fairways running out so great drives are sometimes ending up in pot bunkers or the rough greens are a little slower than what you’re used to these days. What’s been the biggest challenges for you because you’ve got lots of birdies in those first two rounds? Yes, that’s true. Um my my strategy for the week is to be aggressive off the TN on the green. So, as you said, the greens are quite slow, but um it’s still difficult to stay to stay quite aggressive cuz um you’re not used to like hit it that hard, you know, on those uh on those putting greens. So, uh you you really got to be ready to, you know, be aggressive on those greens. And um you know hopefully a few a few drops and um yes again you also have to avoid those silly mistakes putt bunkers uh miss the second shots on the wrong side of the green um because basically you stand no chance to to make up and down from those wrong sides. We’ve really missed you. We not seen obviously that much of you. You’ve been playing on the other side of the Atlantic. How’s the adjustment been for you? It’s been good. Um I’m I’ve been really pleased with my game. I’ve made a a lot of cuts. I only missed one cut so far the whole season, but uh I got to say I’m a bit disappointed with my results. Um I I I still haven’t quite got like the result I’m wanted. Um still haven’t got any top 10. So, you know, I’m I’m hanging in there. I’m still fighting to uh you know, stay over there for next year. But um if I keep playing like this, I’m confident. I’m trying trying to stay very patient and we know in this game everything can click very quickly. So, um, yeah, just staying patient right now.
