Norwegian Viktor Hovland, co-leader of the British Open, acknowledged that he is in a dream situation in the tournament, but said he will not hold back on the final day, this Sunday.
Viktor Hovland, statements“Just being at the British Open at St Andrews is very special, but to have a chance to win it… Yes, I have to pinch myself, but that doesn't mean I'm going to hold back tomorrow,” he said in the mixed zone at the Old Course. Hovland indicated that it is a course that he loves because “you have to be very disciplined” and stated that he played “very well”.
He also considered it great to share the holes with the Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy, with whom he leads the standings and that he will have the support of the fans, something that does not worry him too much.
"I don't mind. It doesn't take pressure off me. I feel like I had some experience with that at the Ryder Cup last year. And at the end of the day there's even some screaming for me too. So I appreciate you. I just have to play my game and not worry about anything else,” he warned.
For his part, the Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy, co-leader of the British Open, congratulated himself for not having lost focus after losing birdie opportunities on the first holes of the third day at St Andrews, where this Sunday he will try to win the Claret Jar, sticking to his plan of match.
“I got my first birdie of the day on 5. And I feel like my patience paid off. All in all it was a very good day,” he said in the mixed zone at St Andrews.
McIlroy shared a game with the other leader, the Norwegian Viktor Hovland and was supported by the fans.
“The support I have received this week has been absolutely incredible. I appreciate it and I feel it out there. But at the same time, I'm doing my best to stay in my own little world because that's the best way to get the best out of myself," he said.
"Remaining" in his "own little bubble" is what he will also try on the last day.
“I just have to do that one more day. I just have to stick to my game plan, stick to the process. The more people mention the result, the more I will insist on the process and on sticking to my game plan, because that is the only thing I can do and I have done well for the last three days and it has put me in this position.”
