Intro:
Reaction from the Irish Open as Finland's Mikko Ilonen takes a one-shot lead into the final round at the Fota Island Resort, Co Cork, Ireland.
Script:
SUPER CAPTION: Mikko Ilonen, Clubhouse leader:
"I've been feeling comfortable in this situation, leading the tournament, so I'm really pleased I got the lead back on the 18th, birdieing the last. So I can stand tall and walk the same way tomorrow."
SUPER CAPTION: Mikko Ilonen, Clubhouse leader:
"Obviously, I would like to hit a little closer as I have the last couple of days. The course is giving us a lot of chances as we saw Danny (Willett) shooting that 63, so the scores are out there, we just have to go and get them."
SOUNDBITE: (English), Graeme McDowell, in third position:"I got a bit unlucky on the green today, I felt like I hit a lot of good putts and didn't make anything. Like you say, I just had to be real patient and kind of draw on past experiences and know that if I could just stay in touch here today I can have an opportunity tomorrow. It's nice to birdie two of the last three there and get myself back into this golf tournament."
SUPER CAPTION: Kristoffer Broberg, in joint-fourth position
"I've played alright for two rounds from tee to green and didn't make so many putts but today I was awful from the tee but I hit very good iron shots and my putter was 'smoking hot'."
SUPER CAPTION: Kristoffer Broberg, in joint-fourth position
"I'm just thinking I need to have a good tournament because I'm so far back in the race to Dubai so I need to keep my card."
SUPER CAPTION: Danny Willett, in second position
"We did it really close for the first few and it was a bit of a stale start, we were one under through six but we did it close a lot and that jump starts it. And then I made a birdie up eight which is one of the toughest holes on the golf course and then we just keep pressing on. I was a little bit stale in the middle of the round, we had a few good chances and couldn't quite get the blade working and then a really, really strong finish, so really good."
SUPER CAPTION: Danny Willett, in second position
"Well, I think Abu Dhabi we got one early this year; 63 again so it seems to be a popular number for a course record, so it's always nice."
