Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Rory McIlroy:

"I don't know. I felt like again I hit the ball very well from tee to green and I just didn't hit it close enough on the front nine this week, I feel. I feel like there's a lot more chances on the back nine anyway, but even if I could have gone out in 33 or 34 a couple of times, it would have made a big difference. But yeah, just one of those golf courses you feel like you play well, you walk off with 70 and you're quite frustrated. So, still another solid week. A lot of positives to take from tee to green. Just need to go home over the next couple of days and work on my putting a little bit and hopefully it will be a bit better for next week."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Rory McIlroy:

"I feel I hit it very similar from tee to green. Obviously in match play you need to hole putts to win matches and I was able to do that last week when I needed to. I still didn't feel like I putted great last week, but I got the job done whenever I needed to. Just if I can play like this just more of the same next week. I don't know really what else I can take out of it, except from the fact that I'm hitting the ball well, giving myself plenty of opportunities for birdies, and if I can do that around here, I feel like I can do that around anywhere. So, pretty positive going into Charlotte."
