On 17 we both hit the wrong clubs, eight-irons instead of nine-irons. I didn't have much of a shot and it was a bad lie in a hard pan. It was a question of landing the ball in the right spot and it was a bit of a shock when it went in. But then it was a great up-and-down by Ernie as well.

I knew what I had to do today. Although I was struggling with some shots, mentally I was able to pull it through.Retief Goosen
On the back nine I was just sort of hanging on but it's never over till it's over. I think on 15 was a big turning-point, when I chipped in for par and I think then the tournament was over.

You know, tomorrow it might blow a gale and we'll all be moaning at things.

I saw the greens very well today and I read the greens very well, especially on the front nine. That was the key, putting well. I didn't drive too well. I only hit six fairways out of 14, so I did well to shoot 64.

It wasn't the Big Five when I was No. 5. As soon as I'm No. 4, they make it the Big Three. But those are the guys you've got to beat. They're going to be up there on the weekend.

I think the course is definitely a better course. It's tough, that's for sure. The rough is just slightly longer than it's been in the past two years. With the fairways getting so firm now, the rough tends to stop the ball a little bit from running into the trees.
