Matt, how’d you kind of characterize the round today? Good. Um, I just gone through it at the end there. Probably put four bad swings on on shots there. Got got away with a couple uh off the tea that had shots to the green, so I was able to play uh hit one really bad one that went in the water, left uh on 15. Um, but bounced back really well today and uh played some decent stuff, you know, really good stuff in amongst the the four bad swings. So, I mean, if I had four bad swings every round of my life, as long as those four bad swings are in play, I’ll be really really happy. So, I’ve got to take the positives from that. When you see weather like this and you know it’s going to be like this kind of all week, does it put you kind of like on the offensive like you know you got to go out and make and make birdies or do you like the round come to you? Yeah, I think so. You got you can’t just go out there and go, I’m going to I’m going to shoot low today. I have to shoot low. It’s got you got to wait for it. You got to be patient. Um you got to execute good shots because the pin positions aren’t easy still and the greens are fast and there’s grain on like changing grain where the holes are. So, you got to be careful. Um but we got plantation tomorrow and um hopefully uh have a have a bunch of looks on on that golf course. Do you pay attention to the points and everything this week or where you are and everything with the top 100? Uh, or do you kind of just play golf and let it be? Well, I have to just play golf, but of course I know where I am. Um, I wish I I wish I’d have played a few less tournaments in Europe. Um, which would have maybe put me in a different position right now, but I I love playing in Europe as well. Um, so that’s just something to that my team and I can can sit down and look at next year and maybe just plan a little bit stronger to the PJ tour. Um, it’s been like that for a few years now where I’ve gone back and played a few events that I really like and um, played well over there. But, you know, it’s you can’t give guys over here six or seven tournament start. Um, so that’s why I’m in the position I am. I I feel like I’m a top 100 player on this PJ tour. Um, so I’ve just got to go and show that this week and get myself back in. Do you feel like your game’s maybe some of the better form has been in this year at times in the fall? No. No, my game’s not that good. Not that good. No. Um, but I’m showing some signs. I can hit some good shots. Um, my game’s not my game isn’t in a place where I want it to be. Um, I haven’t swung the club great. I haven’t hit putted very well. Short game’s been pretty sharp. But there’s sparks where I mean I hit a two and absolutely perfect into a par five today that had no miss to it, you know. So if I can do that, I can put off any shot. So I just need to remember those shots and carry on and keep working hard. Thanks, man. Yeah. Thank you. Good. Thanks.
