Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Dustin Johnson, seven under par:

(assessing his round)

"Yeah, I didn't feel like I played that bad. Just couldn't hole the putts. I felt like I was hitting good putts. They just weren't going in the hole. There's nothing you can really do about that. I was trying, but it was just one of those days where it felt like it played very easy out there today. Got a little tricky coming in, but the first 11 holes couldn't have played any easier."

SOUNDBITE (English) Dustin Johnson, seven under par:

(asked what went wrong)

"No, I mean, I played my game. I'm aggressive when I can be and not when I can't. You can't really worry about what everybody else is doing, you can only control yourself. I just tried to play my game all day, and I did. I just didn't hole any putts."

SOUNDBITE (English) Dustin Johnson, seven under par:

(asked about his overall chances)

"I mean, I'm going to have to put together a special round tomorrow to have a chance. But I'll definitely be way out before the leaders, so get out early and put a -- get off to a really good start maybe, you never know what happens. Anything can happen."

SOUNDBITE (English) Danny Willet, nine under par:

(on his round)

"Yeah, three shots back at an Open Championship is never too far back, is it, obviously. So no, weather conditions today were pretty calm most of the day and they just picked up a little bit, got pretty cold down the last few. A little bit tricky, but yeah, I just couldn't quite get anything going between us and didn't really do what we probably wanted to."

SOUNDBITE (English) Adam Scott, nine under par:

(on his chances at Monday's final round)

"I think, it's super-bunched, so it's really going to be a shootout tomorrow. This course is soft and it's taking on a lot of good scores, so surprising the leaders didn't really get it going today, but that's the pressure of The Open, so I'm happy with that. I'm still in the mix, and I've got to go out and get off to a quick start and kind of put myself on level peggings with them."
