Lawrie 'frustrated' despite topping leaderboard

Saturday, January 30 2016 by SNTV
  • Reaction from leading players after the third round of the Qatar Masters in Doha on Friday (29 January).

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Paul Lawrie, leader on 13 under after a 70:

    "Yes, a little frustrated today on the middle of the round there. I kind of felt as though I hit a lot of good putts that didn't go in but I am sure that I am not alone in that. So it was nice to end the day on a positive note and hit a nice putt and it actually go in with the right pace and kind of the right side of the hole which is what we're all kind of looking to do. It was a tough day, the wind was blowing. You could tell by the scoreboard that it was hard to make birdies so I got round there a bit frustrated but two under so it's a good day."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Paul Lawrie, leader on 13 under after a 70:

    "Yes, it's all you're trying to do. You know every week we play your job is to get yourself in contention with nine holes to play and, hopefully, we can do that on the front nine tomorrow, but there's a lot of good players, obviously, behind me. Branden Grace is obviously the defending champion, won here before, well up the world rankings so tomorrow is going to be a different challenge, but I am looking forward to it."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Branden Grace, joint second on 11 under after a 68:

    "Yes, it was good. It was just a patient day of golf out there. Obviously, it's brutal conditions with the wind getting up and howling a bit. But just stayed patient and managed to make three good birdies coming in to give myself a chance. With a wind like this you can't really attack and you can't really be too aggressive so you just take the chances when they come your way and i think I did well today."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Thorbjorn Olesen, joint second on 11 under after a 69:

    "Yes to be honest I played great there the last nine holes. I gave myself so many chances. Was struggling a little bit on the front nine, but still keeping me in play so it was nice to finish with birdie - I mean I had a good chance there on 16 for eagle - but it was nice with a couple of birdies on the last three so..."
