Do you feel like the confidence has has has come with the results that you’ve produced recently? Yeah, definitely. Definitely. There’s no no doubt about it. I feel like uh more confident in my game and and the shots that I’m hitting and um you know, I definitely feel like there’s been a some good underlying performances that haven’t necessarily um equaled the results really. And uh I feel like that’s you know, it’s one of those you got to stay patient with that and keep doing what what you’re doing if you feel like it’s on the right track. And uh that’s where I feel like I’m going. So, like I say, you just got to keep keep at it. But how do you evaluate your 69 today? Uh yeah, it was it was okay. It was uh solid enough, you know, still in the mix and that’s what’s important. I uh I wasn’t obviously as content as I was yesterday with my play and um but you know, there was some improvements on the previous days off the tea, which was uh you know, was always nice. With the late start today, I I would have guessed you’d have had a look at the leaderboard to see how things were moving. Patience was key today, wasn’t it? Yeah, definitely. Definitely. the early doors, you know, I’m one over through two and um in an ideal world, you’d like to be one under through three, so that was obviously not going to happen. And uh I was one over through three, sorry. And you know, with that, you feel like you’re behind the eightball quickly, but at the same time, things can change. So, um felt like I’d been playing well enough. I was definitely getting frustrated early doors there, but um the put on five was really nice to kind of settle things down and a good save on six as well to kind of get my round going really. your last winning on the DP World Tour was came on Scottish sole. What would it mean for you to pick another one up tomorrow? Yeah, absolutely. It’s uh you know it’s I didn’t win last year and that was disappointing. Um and obviously it’s it’s been over you know 18 20 months since since my last win. So um you know it would be a really big deal. It’s been been a tough tough 18 months. Um, I want to say I’ve been happy with my game and um, obviously a win uh, a win tomorrow changes that feeling and um, hopefully can you know use it as a stepping stone.
