    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Graeme McDowell, 4-under

    "As you say, it was a game of two nines. Drove it well on the front. Set up some really good regulation chances and hung in there really well with the short game on the back nine. I got it up and down from literally everywhere coming in and on this golf course if you get out of position you can find yourself in some pretty awkward spots. Especially the way that the rough is this week. I was just happy to kind of do everything if you like. I had some good spells where I drove it great. I hit some great irons and putted well. And I had spells where I had to scramble and my short game was sharp. So it was a good work out all round and it was nice to post a decent number and look forward to the weekend here."

    Q. Recipe for tomorrow - a few more greens and keep the putter rolling?

    "Correct. Just keep it on the fairway - you have to take one step at a time on this golf course and finding fairways is key. It hasn't really been something that I have been doing well lately. And it's always been one of my strengths when I have been playing well. Good to see some good drives going out there today. And putter felt really solid so got to keep that going."
