Keith, what are your thoughts on today’s 68? Yeah, I’m very happy with my score today. Um, I thought a lot I thought it was a lot tougher today. Um, the wind was swirling. I’d never figured out the wind all day today. It was with you one one second and straight into you the next second. So, I struggled with the wind a lot today. Um, and also my game today was was pretty much the opposite of yesterday. I really struggled out there. Managed to just piece it together. So, I’ll definitely take a 68. What did it take to piece together, as you say, a 68 on a day when you didn’t feel you had full control? Yeah, you know, I think a little bit of patience, you know, um I’ve made a few swing changes, so when it doesn’t go right, it’s very difficult to fix them. So, I I just try to stay patient. My putter saved me many, many times. And uh just try to keep it out of trouble. Um play to the big parts of the green. Can’t take on a lot of flags today. And I managed to once again take advantage of the par fives today. wasn’t quite um hitting all the the greens like I did yesterday. But I managed to birdie all the par fives and like I said that that kind of keeps you in it. Soon as you’re making birdies, you feel like you’re still holding on even if your game’s not there. Planning to head off to the range now. What will you be working on? Yeah, I think so. Um I’m definitely going to spend um some time on the range this afternoon. Um I don’t know. I’ll just I’ll work on my rhythm. uh the stuff that I’ve been working on, you know, if it’s pretty much easy to get it back again as long as you’re just a little bit more calmer, a bit a bit of rhythm and um just the basics again on on what I’ve been trying to get right on the range for the last couple of months. Similar position to where you were after 36 holes in Zambia when you went on to win there. What do you learn and take from that? Yeah, so definitely I mean in Zambia I pushed it on early. I think the the holes in Zambia there were a lot more birdies to be had early on. I don’t think that’s quite the same on this golf course. I just think a nice solid start tomorrow and and make sure that I’m still I’m still pretty in a solid position going into the back n tomorrow. A cracking and professional two days work. Well done. Yeah. Thanks, K.
