Well, another day, another whole bunch of birdies, especially in the back. What is it about the back nine that you’re liking so much with these birdie runs? Um, but um yeah, those are two nice runs to get on really. I felt like especially today, like yesterday, I felt like I stayed very patient and then today after a hot start, few PS in a row, but actually 9 10 11 12 I wasn’t feeling that comfortable on my swing. So, actually then to get on a run after that, I hit great shots into 13. 14 was a lovely shot. You know, I played those holes really, really well. Played them perfect. So, uh, two nice, uh, two nice runs really on the back nine and, um, like I said, it’s not easy really. I just happen to have played really well. Put the ball in place, but um, yeah, happy happy with those two. Yeah, your game seems like it’s really like everything seems to be doing pretty well. Fair. Yeah, I I think so. Of course, like when you shot two two good scores, it’s it’s easy to say like everything’s been going well. But I think for the most part, I’ve I’ve been very good off the tea, put myself in position to have a go at the course. My iron play’s been, you know, good and solid and then like I’ve rolled the ball well. I think the greens are really true and um I’ve had like a nice eye, you know, on the greens and good reads and rolling it well. So, of course, when you, you know, whatever score I am, do two rounds, you’re going to have done everything well, but I think still you’ve got to focus on the good stuff and try and keep that going. is is the key is the key keeping the ball off the tea. Is that is that the key for scoring well here? Well, I I think so. Um I I think you know it’s it’s it’s a course where you can really score well if if you’re in the fairway and if you’re not it becomes a struggle. I think the two times you know two times I missed the fairway today. Look at nine and 18. Uh nine I had to chip out and yeah I made par but you know I had to get up and down from 105 yards or whatever it was and then 18 I was out of position make bogey. I I just think it’s very easy to do that and I think um but I think if you’re hitting it well off the tea, it just makes the course very getable. Cam broke through last week. Is this your week? I mean, well, we’ll see. Um you know, happy to uh put myself in with a chance over the weekend. I think, you know, this is exactly where you want to be and keep testing yourself and um yeah, it hasn’t happened for me yet out on the PJ tour, but I would much rather be up there and uh not quite getting it done than not there at all. And who knows, maybe this week is the week and and we’ll see and we’ll crack on from there. But um you know look forward to tomorrow first. Yeah. Thanks guys. Thank you very much.
