Helping his second day efforts Veerman said was being the very first to tee-off in the $9m event.

“I was the first off this morning, and you know, so you don’t really have to sleep on a whole lot. You just kind of wake up and off you go”, he said.

“I got off to a great start again. This course is in such good conditions. Me and the guys in the group were saying this is the best putting surface you will ever putt on because it’s first off, perfect greens. It was real fun to play today.

The current World No. 213 was also asked what will be his No. 1 mental going into the weekend and it was reply that has to be a first and citing a comment from his two-year old son.

“I don’t know, just keep swimming. My son, he’s two years old, he’s watching Finding Nemo and Dori says, “Just keep swimming.

“So I’m thinking, “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.”

Brilliant Johannes and your young son!
