What They're Saying
Paul Lawrie (via European Tour): "I played really solid today. I hit the ball nice and straight and did not really hit it off line very often. The last couple of days, it has been mega busy, but I knew coming in that was all part of the deal. But then I knew as soon as I got to my bed last night, that was me pretty much done and I was a normal player from this morning. I got here nice and early, did some practise and got my head around what I needed to do today and did it."
Marc Warren: "It was a very good game. We both played solid tee-to-green. We [Richard Bland and I] both putted I would say decent. Towards the end we both putted quite nicely and holed a couple of putts. It was nice and I was delighted to see my putt go in on the last."
