>> THIS IS A TOUGH BUNKER SHOT. >> THERE YOU SEE IT. THE NUMBER ONE, AT THE 8. AND THAT IS ANOTHER ONE AT 15, A COUPLE OF BLEMISHES FOR THORBJORN OLESEN , WE HEAR WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. >> THORBJORN OLESEN, WHAT A DAY, AT THE 8, THE HOLE-IN-ONE, TAKE US THROUGH WHAT HAPPENED. >> I WENT FOR THE FIRST SELECTION, AND I TOOK THE SLOPE NICELY, I — >> YOU TOLD ME A MOMENT AGO, THAT IS YOUR FOURTH CAREER HOLE- IN-ONE, YOU STARTED YOUR DAY, ON THE LEADERBOARD, HOW DID THAT AFFECT YOUR APPROACH? >> YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE GOOD CONDITIONS. THAT WE WERE GOING TO SEE SOME LOW SCORES LIKE THAT. >> IT IS A REAL LOGJAM AT THE TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO TOMORROW? >> PLAY GOOD GOLF. IT WAS PRETTY CRAZY WITH THE WIND, WE WILL SEE THE DIFFERENCE TOMORROW, WITH THE PLAYING. >> A COUPLE MORE ACES WOULD NOT HURT. CONGRATULATIONS AND BEST OF LUCK. >> JUST THE ONE BOGEY ON HIS CARD, AND BIRDIED TWICE ON THE BACK NINE. LET’S SEE WHAT AKSHAY BHATIA SAID. >> FOUR STRAIGHT BIRDIES, WHAT WAS BEHIND THE HOT ROUND TODAY? >> A COUPLE OF SHOTS, WHERE I WAS SPECIFICALLY NOT IN A GREAT SPOT. IT WAS JUST AWESOME TO SEE BUT ALL IN ALL I JUST PLAYED SOLID. FOR THE FIRST COUPLE DAYS, I WOULD SAY THEY WERE AVERAGE ROUNDS, HAPPY TO GET THERE TODAY AND PUT MYSELF IN A GOOD POSITION. >> YOU SAID YOU WERE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS SEASON, WHAT IS THE IGGEST CHALLENGE SO FAR? >> I STRUGGLED WITH MY DRIVER. IT WAS NOT GREAT, AND I FOUND OUT THAT MY DRIVER WAS CRACKED. TRYING TO FIND A DRIVER THAT I LIKE. IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF A CHALLENGE, GIVING AS MUCH AS I CAN, IT HAS BEEN DRAINING, NOT PLAYING WELL, IT IS DEFINITELY A TOUGH GAME OUT HERE, YOU QUESTION A LOT OF THINGS, THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR OF MY LIFE, EACH YEAR FELT LIKE PROGRESS. BUT, MAKING THE CHAMPIONSHIP, THIS YEAR WAS JUST ABOUT BEING A LOST PUPPY, ESSENTIALLY. >> WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE SO FAR THIS WEEK? >> DEFINITELY COMPARTMENTALIZED ON A LOT OF THINGS. WHETHER I MAKE THE TOP 50 OR NOT, ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN ON THE RYDER CUP. YOU KNOW, JUST A LOT OF THINGS I AM GOING TO SAY, HOW THE SEASON ENDS UP AT THIS POINT. WE HAVE THREE, FOUR CHANCES TO MAKE A PUSH. >> A PRETTY CANDID INTERVIEW, CALLING HIMSELF A BIT OF A LOST PUPPY. HE HAS THE LEAD RIGHT NOW . THERE WILL BE A RUNNER UP, SEVERAL PLACES BEHIND. BUT HIS CAREER IS FASCINATING, HE MADE A DECISION NOT TO GO TO COLLEGE. WILL THIS PAYOFF? WHAT HE HAVE BEEN BETTER SERVED PLAYING IN COLLEGE AND THEN COMING OUT? HE ADMITTED, EVERY YEAR HE FEELS HE HAS BEEN IMPROVING. ALL OF A SUDDEN NOW HE FEELS GOOD. >> HE MANUFACTURED THINGS THROUGH THE BEGINNING. HE LEARNED TO DO THE PROCESS, MOST PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO WORK THROUGH THE PROCESS NOT EVERYBODY CAN DO THAT, I ALWAYS LIKE TO SEE THEM JUST TRY TO FIGURE OUT TRANSPORTATION, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, HE LET IT ROCK IN 2024, HE HAS HAD CHANCES TO BE UP THERE. FOR HIM TO SAY, I FEEL LIKE A LOST PUPPY, BUT HE IS IN THE TOP 50, THAT SHOWS YOU A LOT ABOUT WHAT HIS EXPECTATIONS ARE. IT HAS BEEN FUN TO WATCH THIS RIDE, HE IS A SOLID PLAYER. I THINK THAT IS PART OF WHAT TO LOOK AT, HE WAS 7 OF 8, AND IT IS GOING TO BE FASCINATING TO SEE, SOMEBODY WILL SEE EARLY, MAKE A REALLY LOW NUMBER. >> TAKE A LONG TIME FOR HIM TO BREAK THROUGH. HE ESSENTIALLY WON ON THE KORN FERRY TOUR IN 2022. HE COULD HAVE GONE TO COLLEGE AND STILL COME OUT AND DONE THAT. ON THE KORN FERRY TOUR, AND THE PGA TOUR, AS YOU MENTIONED, I FEEL AS IF IT WAS MR. CHILL. HE KNOWS, HE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE TOO STRESSED ABOUT ANYTHING NECESSARILY. >> ACTUALLY, HE IS YOUNG, HE HAS HAD SOME EXPERIENCE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, HE HAS BEEN BEAT UP, HE HAS BEEN DOWN, I THINK THE SECOND TIME AROUND, REMEMBER, HE IS A TOP 10 PLAYER, HE HAS BEEN A GREAT PLAYER, HE CAME BACK IN 2022, 202
