ADAM SCOTT:  It’s not windy enough yet for my liking, so I need a bit of luck this afternoon.

Q.  At what point did you realise the golf clubs had kind of bent you over on the 9th, because that drive was hammered?

ADAM SCOTT:  Yeah, I didn’t try and hammer it, I thought everyone on the tee was good shotting it, but it must have got a pretty firm bounce down there.  I was just pleased to make some good swings out there today.  It was much, much better than yesterday.  Hopefully I didn’t shoot myself in the foot with a bad round yesterday and I’d like to play two more rounds and keep working on this.  You never know, I can have a decent result here and then be in good form going into next week and the PGA.

Q.  When you say decent result, can you still see the W up there or is it just grinding from here to get as close as you can?

ADAM SCOTT:  It would be tough, I need a lot of things to go my way, but an early start and then a windy afternoon, stranger things have happened.  It happens in golf, but if I can get well under par, if I get to play again, that would be a nice weekend, three solid rounds and then I can take a bit of confidence into next week and at least be ready for that.

Q.  What changes overnight, is it the physical or the mental, to go from 75 to 67?

ADAM SCOTT:  I adjusted my posture this morning on the range and changed the path of my swing a little bit and it was a good move, because I was really struggling out there yesterday.  It was better.  It wasn’t feeling amazing out there today, it was hard work, but definitely on the right path today.

Q.  The importance of the fast start you said you needed and you got.

ADAM SCOTT:  Yeah, you have to off that side.  It’s there for the taking.  Unless you are pinpoint on around here, it’s a very tricky course, especially where the pins are, to hit it close all the time.  You risk getting in some bad spots if you attack too much and when you’re putting from 40 feet, there’s a lot of break.  It’s just a grind because you don’t hole too many 40 footers and then two putting them sometimes is tough.  So, through the middle stretch on my routing today, I was struggling and just hanging in there.  It’s a good test, but then you watch Paul play and he’s throwing it in there close, making it look easy.
