Fleetwood: "I didn't hit irons that great"

Friday, April 22 2016 by SNTV
  • Reaction from leading players at the Shenzhen International where Alexander Levy shared the lead with Soomin Lee on six-under after weather stopped proceedings on Thursday (21st April) with 32 players yet to complete their opening rounds

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Alexander Levy, joint-leader on six-under

    "It's nice, always nice to shoot under par. I have some very good memories there (he won his first European Tour title, the China Open, at Genzon Golf Club) and it's always nice to play this golf course when you have your first win. I just played great today and I play good last week and a few bad runs with the wind and I feel my game is in a good way and today I play good, I play solid like the last round in Valderrama."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Eduardo De La Riva, joint-fourth on four-under

    "Yeah, it's different. I play only two rounds in Valderrama so (laughs) not too much but, yes, it was very difficult to putt in Valderrama and here you can be aggressive in the putt."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Joost Luiten, joint-fourth on four-under

    Yeah, no it's a different golf course but in the end of the day you need to hit some good shots and that's what I did on the back nine, created more birdie chances and then you can roll them in. And on the front nine I was just a bit too far away from the pins and then it's difficult making putts, but you've just got to stay in the same mindset as last week and I done that so I'm happy"

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Tommy Fleetwood, joint-ninth on three-under

    "Good, yeah. I'd have taken it before I set out. I drove it OK, the rest of it wasn't particularly great. I didn't hit my irons that great and I made a couple of good up-and-downs and then picked up a couple of shots on the front nine with some good putts and then once I had the momentum I just kind of let it go at the end really. A bit aggressive with the first putt on 8 and then missed the one coming back, and then didn't birdie 9 from the fairway so it's like a sad finish to what was a good round where I got the most out of it but, yeah, good start."
