Q. Always hard to follow up an opening round 61 with another one, but a solid 67 today. How are you feeling heading into the weekend?
SAMI VALIMAKI: I feel really confident. I played good. I just couldn't get those few birdies and then I think the bogey on the second kind of dropped the momentum. It's still a good round.
Q. How did you reset after that bogey?
SAMI VALIMAKI: I felt I hit the perfect shot at the turn and made the putt but missed it. I feel like that took a little bit of time as well, but yeah, it's what it is.
Q. And with courses like this where it's more scorable especially when you have to capitalize when it's not as windy with your game do you kind of like when it's chances where you have to be more aggressive going for birdies?
SAMI VALIMAKI: Yeah, I kind of like that as well, especially when you get it hot, then it's a nice feeling, but then the other way around like today when you look at the leaderboard, then you're a few shots back so that kind of keeps the pressure as well, you just need to make birdies.
