Northern Ireland Open leader Joakim Lagergren hoping for more Galgorm glory after stunning third round

Transcript

00:00Stunning run today, I'm sure you're delighted with that.

00:03Yeah, absolutely.

00:04Played some amazing golf.

00:06A little bitter feeling afterwards with not holding the last putt there,

00:12and missed a short one of 16 as well.

00:16I mean, you don't get a lot of chances to shoot 59.

00:20I was too short today with two short putt misses on the last three holes.

00:25I mean, it feels great to be playing this well,

00:28but you always want more.

00:30And you started really well, I think it was Birdie-Birdie you started with,

00:33so that sort of gave you confidence going into your round

00:35to shoot a little one today?

00:36Yeah, absolutely.

00:37I hold a really amazing long putt on the first that was really tricky,

00:40and then hit the green on second, so it was an amazing start.

00:43One of the better rounds of your career, would it be?

00:45Yeah, I would say so, yeah, definitely.

00:48And confidence then, after such a good score today, going into tomorrow?

00:52Yeah, but you know how golf is, it's a new day tomorrow

00:56and you don't know what it's going to bring.

00:58Were conditions much easier today to shoot low than Thursday and Friday?

01:01Yeah, I mean, it's day and night.

01:03It was a few shots easier out there today.

01:05How challenging was Thursday and Friday?

01:08I would say Thursday was okay.

01:10I thought Friday morning was pretty tough, actually.

01:12The wind was coming and going, going up and down,

01:16so I would say this was the easiest day,

01:19and then Friday was probably the toughest one so far.

01:21And this is a course you've done well before, isn't it?

01:23Yeah, yeah, I won here 10 years ago

01:26and then finished fifth on the European Tour here 20 years ago.

01:31What makes it such a suitable to your game, this course?

01:35I don't know, it's a great golf course and you can't go ahead of yourself.

01:39I mean, you always have a challenge in front of you,

01:41so you need to stay present.

01:43Do you go in with confidence tomorrow,

01:44considering you've done so well here in the past?

01:46Yeah, I guess so, hope so, hope so.

01:48How special will it be to win another game?

01:49Yeah, it will be great, yeah.
