Intro:

Player reaction from Shane Lowry, Joost Luiten and Nicolas Colserts after the second day's play at the Wales Open at Celtic Manor on Friday (12th September).

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Shane Lowry:

"Yeah, especially on a golf course like that, it's playing quite long, it's not that easy, there are a couple of tricky holes out there, so... bogey-free and to make six birdies on top of that was really nice as well."

SOUNDBITE (English) Shane Lowry:

"Yeah, I mean, I... there's not many times that I've led after Friday, so it's pretty new to me, but I've kind of been on Tour, this is my sixth season, so I know what to do now, I know how to play Saturday and Sunday golf. Hopefully I can just play well over the next couple of days and give myself a chance with a few holes to go on Sunday."

SOUNDBITE (English) Joost Luiten:

"I played well the first nine and I played well on the back nine, but I just didn't make my putts there, but yeah, you just have to get your mind set a little bit different so you can really fly it all the way to the pin and even six, seven irons were spinning back, so you could be aggressive today. Two back pins on our back nine was tough to get it all the way there and then you just have to play it a little bit smarter."

SOUNDBITE (English) Nicolas Colsaerts:

"Oh, yeah, a bit of both. I started off in great style, I was very quickly two or three under and everything was rolling fine, then two little silly mistakes in the middle of the round, ten and eleven... then shaved bunch of holes after that, I thought I was due something and that putt on the last came at the right moment."
