I’m obviously very happy with my round especially with seven birdies and one bogey. The main thing was I putt really well today and I kept my ball in play. I hit well yesterday as well, but I didn’t hole as much as today. So the key was on the greens today. I told my caddie on Wednesday, we were very lucky to play first off in the afternoon yesterday and first off today. I wouldn’t say it would be easier, but yeah, playing with the less wind, it’s always better. I still push myself every shot every day, but I still stick to my routine and see what happens. I’ve learnt that golf is golf. Whatever happens, happens. You just do what you have to do. I haven’t played a lot of match play but I’ve played quite a lot of betting games with the mates back home. So I hope I’ll have the same kind of feeling this week.

I felt a lot better when I woke up.  It’s still congested and all, but no, I feel better and it showed in my game and my patience today.  I putted really well, so that was the key today. To be eight-under is a bonus.  I’ve rolled in a lot of putts over the past two days and I’m happy where I’m at.

Yeah, I played really nice yesterday in some tough conditions.  And today was a little bit scrappy, but we had some pretty nice conditions this morning, greens were perfect.  No wind around here makes the course pretty scorable, so it was nice to take advantage of that and be in a good place for tomorrow. I think the last couple years I’ve eyed that top-24 from sort of around the morning and it hasn’t worked out very well for me.  I’ll try to aim a little higher this year and see what happens.  It looks like it might blow tomorrow afternoon as well, so might be a case of just trying to hang on.  The golf game feels like it’s in a pretty good place and push to get into that top-eight, and anything can happen on Sunday around here, which is good.

This is the first time I’ve made the cut here, so I’m pretty ecstatic with that. I was three-over through six and it was not looking very good yesterday. But I battled back to shoot under-par. I came out with a bit of momentum and only made one mistake. I got a lot of good bounces and many putts have gone in so far. I just want to get to the super 6 and I’m really happy with the spot I’m in now. If I can get another solid round tomorrow, I really fancy my chances in the match play. I play a lot of match play events at home and I love match play. I play very well because of my game. I can make birdies from under the trees. So for me, match play is a good format but not for my competitors.
