Golf is golf. There’s nothing you can do about it

Shaun Norris speaks to the media following his second round at The Open Championship

Sean, how are you? How you doing? Good, thank you. Um, quite the day for you, but I guess there’s some satisfaction from how it went after the fourth. Well, for one hole, I actually played quite nicely. So, um, I think the game’s trending in the right way. Like I said, one hole killed me today. So, it was a fight from there on in, but I’m looking forward to the rest of the year. And the bird in the last a nice way to nice way to finish it. It’s always nice to finish with a video on the last, especially in front of the crowd and everything like that. So, yeah, happy about that. Yeah. So, talk us through the fourth then. I’m thinking your mind is scrambled during that. What What do you remember of it? Uh, yeah. I mean, I had a very poor T- shot the first one and then um proceeded to hit the next one straight in the bunker. I mean, now I’m trying to chase something, trying to make the best score out of it. Um unfortunately, uh what was it? The fourth shot, clipped the lip and then stick with the same club and try to do the same. After that, my mind sort of like went a little bit numb, but um it happens. Golf is golf. I mean, there’s nothing you can do about it. Made a number and had to accept it and carry on. Is that the same bunker as yesterday? Is it exactly the same? Hence why the first T-shot a little bit further right. So, you know, it’s there’s nothing you can do about it. Golf is golf. I mean, you got to take it on take it on the chin and let’s see what happens. And like yesterday, you’ve recovered with a bubble immediately the next hole. Um, how how do you get your mindset right after a bowl like that? How do you change? You just got to accept it. Plain and simple. You got to accept it. I mean, there’s nothing you can do about it. The past is the past. Uh, I knew that it happened. I made the number. I made the 10 on the hole and I just said, “Okay, now instead of making two or three or four birdies coming back, now I’m going to make five or six.” Um, like I said, I was happy with the way I fought back after that. Um, unfortunately, I didn’t make as many putts as I would have liked to, but that’s how game goes. I guess frustration is if you take that hole out of it this week, take a great week, right? Take that hole out of this that this week. And I got another two rounds to go. And you know, you never know what happens. But like this guy, this game can can break the biggest pe person and people on the planet. So you know what? I learned a lot a lot again from this. Not not a hole you want to see anytime soon. I guess it’s not the fourth is not a hole you want to play again anytime soon. I guess you know what? I’ll take it on. I I’ll accept the challenge again. Um I’ll play it a little bit differently next time, but you know what? Looking forward to it. You m Thank you. Appreciate it. See you, Johnny Hall. Thanks so much. Thank you. Yeah, he’s going to go. He’s going to go there. Uh we’re going to put on that platform.
