Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Matt Ford, England:

"Not when you start with the way we did yesterday with that wind. Obviously it was pretty calm this morning so the best conditions there. It has just started to pick up a little bit but it is not as windy as it was yesterday. There was a low score out there today. I missed a couple of putts but then I holed a wedge and a couple so, yeah, I played some good stuff today."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Matt Ford, England:

"I've been hitting it pretty steady all year to be honest. I think the way the golf course is it is kind of suits me so you don't have to hit full-out shots, you are hitting quite a lot of half-shots and that tends to suit my game really so I could have good control of the ball so far this week - and hopefully that will continue."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Maximilian Kieffer, Germany:

"Yeah it was...it felt easy today. I made a bogey on my first hole, the ninth, and I was three-over for the tournament and a little bit upset. Then just...I don't know..it just felt easier. Finally I made a lot of good putts today and they went in and I think that is the key for a low round - always to putt away."
