Yeah. Um yeah, very very solid day again. Um played very very similar to to yesterday. Um just didn’t hold as many putts, but um yeah, very happy to to keep the boogies off the court. >> Um no, not necessarily. I think um I played I was playing very nicely and just um sort of hitting it to that awkward range where it’s you sort of want to hold the putt, but they’re obviously very very difficult to. So, um, a couple sort of skinned by the edge and, um, just sort of stayed stayed patient and, um, three of them fell in a row, which was nice. Um, yeah, I mean, I think the first’s obviously a very difficult opening hole. Um, and then the ninth as well is obviously a very, very difficult hole as well. Um, so I think there’s there’s definitely certain holes you you sort of stand on the tea sort of hoping to to make a good swing and um walk away with with four pars um for the week which is sort of um the aim on those couple holes. >> Yeah, absolutely. I mean the course is there’s not much not much wind around and um yeah definitely you know the caliber of these guys is uh is pretty pretty phenomenal. So, um, yeah, you got to expect those those low scores and, um, yeah, they’re definitely definitely out there to be had for for people. >> Um, not not not this week. Um, I played with him. I played a practice run with him actually at the Dunh Hill a couple of weeks ago, so it was nice to to catch up with him there. Um, but not not this week. I’m sure we’ll play play again together in Saturday in a couple of weeks. Um but yeah, so normally normally when we are we try to but this week I uh again just sort of as and when you know he he sent me a message uh last night um about the round yesterday which was nice and um so yeah we sort of stay in touch uh on on text and stuff but um sort of catch up whenever Christmas [clears throat] um yeah I mean very hopefully very similar stuff would be would be nice. Um, I think I’ve sort of took the approach going into this week just to to sort of play very aggressive and sort of just whatever the outcome is, uh, come the end of the week it is. And I think maybe I’ll I’ll just keep doing that and, you know, I’ve I’ve had a have had a quite a nice year, so um, why not just go for it? >> Yeah, I think so. I mean, yeah. I mean, you’re you’re trying to obviously win to get those those spots and um yeah, I mean, finishing fourth for fifth isn’t going to really um excite me too much. So, yeah, may as well just uh I think everything’s been um very solid. I think my distance control of my irons has been nice. Um the greens are quite quite slloppy and sort of trying to leave yourself in in the right spots to have some easier putts. Um, so yeah, I think everything’s been obviously everything’s been very good to to get to that score, but I think sort of just been very um sort of accurate of hitting my numbers and hopefully that can continue.
