Round 2 Player Quotes

Andrea Romano : “I’m very happy because my game feels really solid. Even when I hit a bad shot, it’s never a big mistake. I usually stay on the right side, which makes it easier to recover and save par. I’ve also realised that when I’m putting well and feeling confident on the greens, I’m very comfortable out there and can keep a positive mindset throughout the round.”

Alexis Leray : “I’m quite pleased with my first two rounds. I had a really good putting day friday, while today was a bit more difficult on the greens. I missed several birdie opportunities, especially from short range, which could have helped me go lower.

That said, I’m very satisfied with my game and with how I’m playing overall at the start of the season. Apart from a difficult first round in the opening event, things have been going well, I’ve been consistent and I feel comfortable on this tour in my first season. I’m in a good position, and I’ll try to make the most of it to earn as many points as possible.”
