Intro:
Reaction from George Coetzee, who holds the clubhouse lead in Friday's (July 18th) second round of the Open Championship, moving to five-under-par after shooting a three-under 69 on the day of his 28th birthday.
Script:
SOUNDBITE: (English) George Coetzee, Clubhouse leader on five-under-par (asked at what point in his round he saw he was joint top of the leaderboard):
"I think it's obvious I looked at it as soon as I was at the top (laughs)…. 'cause I made two birdies right after that, but it was quite a cool feeling to look at my name and be at the top of the leaderboard. But yes, obviously six-under was a hell of a score yesterday and I didn't think it was doable today to get to that number. But yes, when I made birdie on, what hole was it, the par-three (looks at scorecard), 13, yes, when I made birdie on 13 I was like 'alright, well I'm pretty close, I think I'm lying top ten,' and then the next one and then the next one and I realised quite quickly."
SOUNDBITE: (English) George Coetzee, Clubhouse leader on five-under-par (asked if he has faced the worst of the conditions in his first two rounds):
"Well, before yesterday's round we knew that it was going to be a little windy in the afternoon and it looked like it was going to be pretty miserable this morning, so when I played yesterday I thought to myself 'probably need a couple of birdies just to try and make the cut the next day if the wind's going to blow,' but yes, we'll see how the day pans out. I mean if the wind drops down then obviously I think we might have had the rough side."
