Rory 71 to start your week here at the Irish Open. Give us an evaluation of your day. Yeah. Um felt like I played better than what the um the score reflects. Um felt like I hit the ball well. I drove the ball well. Um you know, just had a had that disappointing finish, you know, boogie and two of the last three holes. Um but actually pretty encouraged with how I how I played. Um just didn’t didn’t score as well as I as I wanted to. But um yeah, game game game feels um pretty good. You know, as I said, off the tea was um you was good. Was sort of a continuation of what I saw at East Lake a couple weeks ago. Um and yeah, just a matter of just being a little more efficient with with the scoring. You said earlier in the week that during the playoffs some of your game was good and it wasn’t and then it switched the week after. Does it feel like it’s possibly coming together a bit more? Yeah, a little bit. U ball striking wise, I thought I was I was pretty good today. Um, and then yeah, around the greens, for the most part, I was good. I um I missed a couple of sort of mid-range putts there at the end of the round to to see if par. Uh, and then that one at the last for birdie, but um, you know, felt like I hit decent putts and, you know, just, you know, hitting edges and so, you know, hopefully I can get it going tomorrow and and shoot a little one. You got a huge crowd just weighing outside here. Tell us what the crowds were out there today. You started early obviously, but they grew and grew as Yeah. Oh, it’s been it’s been amazing. You know, it’s it’s great. Every time I come back and play in this tournament, the crowds are um are unbelievable and you know, it’s it’s obviously a pleasure to play in front of them and you know, they they create a great atmosphere. Rory, solid start to the week. Good luck to you. Thank you.
