Alex Noren Thursday Flash Interview 2024 BMW Championship

characteriz around Alex well it was uh it was a overall good uh didn't hit it great all all you know all day but a lot of good shots a few M hits but uh I managed to kind of um choose where to be defensive where to be aggressive so kind of those rounds that just kind of you're happy with your score in the end of the day you know you get the most out of the out of your round so just going to trying to get a little bit better off the te to to kind of as soon as I hit the right shot on the holes you know off the te you get so much Advantage uh so you just got to hit the driver a little bit better threee was good but driver a little better was it kind of feeling out the course and and the elevation and kind of how the course would kind of play even you know after even after the practice rounds yeah I mean it's it's some that that I played 10% and I thought thought that was pretty accurate all day uh so the the altitude I'm not so worried about it's it's more like it's a new core uh some pins don't look that bad and some look really bad and you maybe aren't that bad so it's like just that whole whole new place to get to get used to how much is the FedEx Cup bubble Weighing on your mind H I mean I mean last week was probably more on my mind you know try to get to this one being outside it at the start of the week or yeah around the spot so um this week you know it's it's more of you know you got to finish really high up there to get to next week so I don't have much to lose but uh I really want to get to next week after that bogey on seven how' you kind of just recalibrate and get your mind back right from the rest of the round yeah I mean it's um it's uh you know it's it's one of those golf courses that you got to keep your mind in the right place because otherwise it's it's too tough so um it helps having a caddy there who kind of tell tell you what to do you know like let's forget about that and just move on everybody's making bogey so um you know it's and I'm 42 now I play this game a long time I know you know you all you can do is kind of look ahead and you said the minus 10% on the facturing the elevation that was kind of pretty accurate Al I think so um according like my shots it kind of fits 10% I maybe if you hit it higher maybe more but 10% for me like yeah do you look at where you're projected or do or at all uh a little bit you know but it well it's more like a you can see what you need at the end of the week you know what kind of what kind of game do you need to have do you need to what what parts of the game do you really need to work on to get very high up on the leaderboard to make it the next week so yeah it's been 10 years since they had a p EV in color was the envir that's beautiful beautiful I think people love that we're here and I mean the course is beautiful I mean the whole the whole course the clubhouse everybody who works with this tournament is you know it's a it's like looks like a major out there and the crowd is great do you think Keegan's the leader right now minus 6 I mean do you think it'll take minus 20 score to win this thing what if you look in your crystal ball what do you think no I mean I I don't think minus 20 it's kind of I mean they can if it doesn't rain much in the evening it can get very very dry and and firm um so maybe it'll play a little shorter but it will play definitely tougher into the greens and long the long part three some of them and it it's going to be tricky so um yeah you just have to keep your energy keep your patience around a place like this I I don't think the scoring is going to be that low do you one more do you find yourself feeling uh I I know you guys are all in shape but walk around this course elevation and the up and down and how long it is how do you feel at the end of the round yeah I mean it you definitely feel it I feel better today than I did a couple of days ago uh I was a little bit sick last week and I can feel you know I want to get in better shape for a place like this and just uh you don't usually have to do you know kind of running and stuff in golf but it it definitely helps if you're fit around place like this thank you thank
