\u201cThe course was quite difficult today for a two-star Grand Prix,\u201d Houtzager analysed the competition. \u201cThere were a lot of broken lines, and if you came a bit off the line, then the distances were going away from you, and the time allowed was quite short as well. I think the course was fair. There were only eight clears and in the jump-off, I tried to win. In the end, it was enough.\u201d

\u201cEverything is perfectly organized, the grounds are good and the course building is great,\u201d Houtzager \u2013\u00a0a familiar face in Oliva Nova \u2013\u00a0said about the venue. \u201cI am really happy with today\u2019s result.\u201d
