Players Quotes
Laurie Canter: I was in between clubs (on the sixth). Ended up going with a slightly shorter one, just hoped it jumped out of the rough. It came out well and to be honest it looked like it might be a bit long, but one bounce, two bounces and it disappeared. Obviously delighted for that to go in for eagle, pretty unexpected.
It's such a long week but to play well and compete you need things to go your way and that was definitely a great break. Hopefully I will have good memories of playing that hole over the weekend.
I feel like I've spent half my life in this part of Spain, between here and Lumine. I think I've been to Q School six or seven times. I know it well, know a few of the local restaurants, I guess that counts - you feel comfortable. I love this golf course, I love the facilities and everything about it. It's genuinely a bit of a privilege to play it. I think it's a really special place.
Oliver Bekker: It was tough today, I struggled off the tee mostly, didn't hit a lot of fairways. If you are out of position around here you are going to struggle, so it felt like it was 36 holes out there today. Just glad to get back in level par.
The greens are a bit firmer, and playing so late they were getting a little bit bumpy, hard to make putts. It is what it is, tomorrow we come back luckily and fight again.
I'm just out here to try and enjoy it, I'm not putting to much pressure on myself. If a win comes, then great. If it doesn't I'll try to finish as good as possible. It's my first year out here, I'm just trying to secure my card and try to see where I can get.
James Morrison: Found it very hard, need a beer now to calm myself down, but it's an absolute pleasure to play a golf course like that. You get it out of line, you've got to rely on your short game and today I did that, I didn't play well at all. One bad club from my caddie cost me a bogie, but dug in there, chipped and putted well so I'm happy.
Wade (Ormsby) tells me if I couldn't chip and putt I would be selling Mars Bars, so I relied on that pretty nicely today. It is what it is and you've got to do what you've got to do.
It depends on the forecast, which is a shame because it's starting to get firm and bouncy, which makes it really interesting and fun as a pro. If it rains heavily tomorrow the course will change completely and level par is a good score. We'll see what happens, get on with it and do what I can do.
