KATHIE SHEARER:  Louis, a great round of golf today; completely different to yesterday, this weather.

LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN:  Yeah, you could see the sky, so it was nice and not as windy.  Golf yesterday played really in the afternoon, to figure out where the wind was, but I felt this morning there was a lot of scoring opportunities.

KATHIE SHEARER:  In a perfect position going into the weekend.

LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN:  Yeah, good spot to go into the weekend.  A lot of golf’s left, but a good start.

Q.  Do you have a number in mind in Day 2 when you see the scores from the day before?

LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN:  No, just give myself as many opportunities as I can for birdie and I didn’t give myself loads. I missed quite a few as well, but I was rolling them nicely and hitting it decent.  So, I’m in a good spot.

Q.  36 holes here now, what at the keys to the Australian Golf Club for you, do you think, to make it?

LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN:  Driving.  You can take it on a bit with your driver and if you get it down there, you can wedge it in close.  The greens are so that anything inside 25 foot you feel like you’ve got a decent chance for birdie.

Q.  It feels like the course is playing short, does it feel like it out there playing it?

LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN:  I think this morning it might have, because the fairways are firming up a little bit and it’s nice to get the roll on it.  But a lot of bunkers that you need to avoid.  You still need to drive it pretty straight. If you take it on and it comes off I think you can have a low round.

Q.  What do you do from here to Sunday, what’s the mindset for tomorrow and then Sunday?

LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN:  Nothing different, just go out and play and see how many birdies I can make.

Q.  Just coming into this Tournament, are you treating it like a serious Tournament or more just trying to get your game in order for next week?  What were your thoughts?

LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN:  Sort of both.  I think it’s fine, just getting the game sharp for next week, it’s nice to play the week before and get the jetlag out of the system and be ready.  Two weeks I feel in the same country is always nice, to just get a little bit acclimatised and feel the crowd and the vibe and everything.  I think next week will be brilliant with the Australian crowd behind us and it’s probably the best opportunity we’re going to get as home turf.

Q.  Have you had time to do stuff with Ernie and the assistants after a day’s play this week?

LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN:  Yeah, we in the group and I’ve been chatting with Ernie a lot and speaking about what he thinks and what we think.  So, we’re all ready to go, all 12 of us, we’re ready to get to next week and start to play.  It’s now just on us to get the game sharp.

KATHIE SHEARER:  Ernie said that he has, in his phone already, the pairings.  He said he’s got all the pairings ready in his phone, have you had a look at the phone?

LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN:  We know what’s going on, so we have a good idea what’s going on.  Obviously, that’s a secret.

KATHIE SHEARER:  Thank you, thank you very much, speak to you tomorrow.

Q.  A great round of 6-under today, one of the best of the day.  The scores must be out there for the taking?

DENZEL IEREMIA:  Yeah, the last two days it’s been really nice scoring conditions.  The greens are pretty soft and there’s not much wind.  If you can hit it well off the tee, you’ve got a lot of wedges in.  I’d expect a few more low ones today.

Q.  You’re currently tied for second place, right up there, the pointy end of the leaderboard, how’s your game feeling?

DENZEL IEREMIA:  It’s feeling good.  It’s cool to play two good rounds and just see what we can do on the weekend.

Q.  You’re one shot off the lead, how does that feel?

DENZEL IEREMIA:  It’s cool.  I’ve been playing good for pretty much the whole year, so it’s nice to be in a bit better position going into the weekend this time.

Q.  You had a chance to take a share of the lead on the last there, how were you feeling standing over that putt?

DENZEL IEREMIA:  That was a pretty makeable putt, it was pretty straight up the hill.  I pulled it a little, but that’s golf.  You miss some, you make some, so we’ll just roll with the punches.

Q.  What do you do tonight to prepare for tomorrow, mindset and everything-wise?

DENZEL IEREMIA:  I think we’ll go to the beach and have a swim, have a nice dinner and I guess just keep enjoying our time in Sydney.

Q.  How do you approach it game-wise?

DENZEL IEREMIA:  I just come out every day and just try and make as many birdies as I can and see what that adds up to in the end.  I play pretty aggressively, I always have, so I’ll just stick to that.

KATHIE SHEARER:  You must be really pleased with where you are, Elvis?

ELVIS SMYLIE:  Yeah, very excited with today’s round.  So, see what happens the next couple of days.  Just keep making some putts and giving myself opportunities and see what happens.

KATHIE SHEARER:  Are you surprised where you are on the leaderboard or you’ve been working towards this?

ELVIS SMYLIE:  Yeah, I’ve been working towards it.  I’m not really overwhelmed.  I played yesterday and that was a good idea of what it’s going to be like.  I’m just taking it one shot at a time and see what happens.

KATHIE SHEARER:  How was Clayton on the bag, did he behave?

ELVIS SMYLIE:  Yeah, Clayts is good, he’s awesome to have on the bag.  He’s really just chilled out and he’s not too uptight, which I really like.  So yeah, we were having a good partnership this week, so it’s good.

Q.  When you say not overwhelmed, do you see yourself as being on the leaderboard and contending for the title on Sunday?

ELVIS SMYLIE:  Yeah, for sure.  I don’t want to be overwhelmed.  I’ve played in some really big events before, so I’m not trying to overwhelm myself with the occasion.  Obviously, it’s a really big event with some great names in it, so I’m not trying to think about it too much.  I just want to play my own game and see what happens.

Q.  Seeing people like Cameron Davis win it as well, does that give you added hope and inspiration?

ELVIS SMYLIE:  Yeah, for sure.  I mean, Cam’s a rookie pro, as you’d like to say, so he was once in my footsteps and he’s been playing some really good golf.  He’s definitely someone I’ve looked up to these last couple of years and it’s definitely a sign that I can do the exact same as him.

Q.  Not a lot of lefties around, but you played with one today who’s won The Masters.

ELVIS SMYLIE:  Yep.

Q.  Was there anything that you learnt from him or did he give you any tips on the way or anything?

ELVIS SMYLIE:  Not really, I mean, we’re all out there just to play our own game.  But just the way he handles certain situations.  You don’t really need to talk to them in order for you to learn off them.  So, just the way he goes about his business and just how he reacts to certain things, I’ve definitely learnt a couple of things these last couple of days.

Q.  Did you watch him more closely just because he’s a leftie and a Masters champ, things you might pick up?

ELVIS SMYLIE:  Yeah, of course.  They’re two legends of the game, so I’m trying to pick up on any little things I can possibly use to my benefit towards my golf game.

Q.  You’ve got a lot of publicity stories about you in the last week leading into this.  What’s the funniest, craziest thing?  Have you been getting marriage proposals from young girls out there yet or anything?

ELVIS SMYLIE:  No, I think just all the Elvis Presley puns – caught in a trap and stuff.  I think a couple of them I’m used to, but they’re very funny.

Q.  Have you got mates back home?

ELVIS SMYLIE:  Yeah, of course.

Q.  I know you’ve got mates – I was still going – but are they giving you text messages and tweets, social media, have you got a fan club going?

ELVIS SMYLIE:  Yeah, I’ve received a lot of good luck and all the best during the week, so it’s definitely helped, I guess settle my nerves knowing that there are people back home that are supporting me and just egging me on.  It’s been a great experience and I’m just looking forward to playing over the weekend.

Q.  What are they doing back home, are they still at school or have they finished school or are they doing a job and you’re down here?

ELVIS SMYLIE:  Yeah, some of them are at school, some of them are out, but they’re all amateur golfers I’m mates with, so they’re all egging me on.  It’s great.  It’s good.

Q.  You weren’t under too much pressure to take up tennis or continue tennis?

ELVIS SMYLIE:  No, not really. My mum and dad were really supportive of me no matter what path I chose.  My mum’s obviously a very successful tennis player, but her experience, she didn’t really push me to play tennis, which I really liked.  My passion is golf and I love golf.  I started when I was like four and I’ve just loved it ever since.  I’m happy with my path I’ve chosen, so it’s good.

Q.  Just help me out here, I’m mentally going through my head thinking of Elvis songs – Caught in a trap.  Which other ones have you had giving you a bit of a stir?

ELVIS SMYLIE:  Like Heartbreak city or something.  There are so many.

Q.  Love me tender?

ELVIS SMYLIE:  Yeah, there are so many of them.  I’m sort of sick of hearing it all, but how can you not talk about it when I’ve got the same name as the Elvis Presley.  I’m just looking forward to the rest of the week and see what happens.

Q.  If you’re here on Sunday playing for the Championship, do you expect people turning up in Elvis suits and whatnot?

ELVIS SMYLIE:  That would be quite ridiculous, but who knows?  Anything can happen.

KATHIE SHEARER:  You didn’t play like you hoped you’d play this week.

ERNIE ELS:  No.  I was kind of hanging in there.  I think the shot on 18 yesterday after a beautiful drive – it’s amazing, after all this experience, I couldn’t quite get over that one.  I was looking forward to maybe making three or four, and I make six.  Dinner wasn’t good and just a lot of bad stuff.  I just didn’t quite swing enough or good enough and so be it.  But, it was always going to be tough for me to play well with next week coming up.  There’s a lot going on.

Q.  You can shift your focus that now, right and really go hard?

ERNIE ELS:  Yeah, absolutely.  Actually even last night, I got some pairings going for the guys and so things are really getting set up now.  I’m really focused on next week now, absolutely.

Q.  Has the Australian Open and the way the guys have played, influenced that at all, your pairings?

ERNIE ELS:  No, my long term view is long term form.  I’ve picked guys who have played well for a long term.  One week or one round is not going to change anything in my view. The guys are quality players, they’ve made great strides in making the team and I believe in them.  If they have a bad round or a bad tournament, it’s not changing my view on that.

Q.  It’s been reported that Tiger may play up to four matches.  Are you preparing for Tiger to play a fair bit next week?

ERNIE ELS:  What kind of news is this?  Where do you get your reporting from?  Anyway, whatever happens, I can’t worry about what they’re doing, I’m worried about what we’re doing.  If he plays a lot, he plays a lot.  It doesn’t really change anything.  It’s a point per match and that’s what we’re focused on, trying to get as many points as we can.

Q.  Will you fly to Melbourne tonight or tomorrow morning or will you hang around here for the weekend?

ERNIE ELS:  I’ve got a couple of things to do, unfortunately, otherwise I’d be down there this evening.  But, I’ll be going down there as soon as I can.  I think I’ve got some commitments to do tonight and maybe tomorrow and then I’ll be out of here as soon as I can and get to the golf course and see what the golf course is like.

Q.  Is it a difficult thing for the players, your guys, to maintain their focus here knowing that next week is so big?

ERNIE ELS:  I think so.  I think the guys have really got their minds on next week, the guys I’ve spoken to.  It would be great if they catch form and get themselves in the hunt.  I see Louis is right up there, Scotty I think had a good one today, so most of the guys are playing the weekend, so that’s great.  I think the guys have got their minds on next week, definitely, trying to get themselves in form.

Q.  You touched on this the other day, but it’s the first time there’s only one South African playing since you did in ’98 when they won.  Do you take that as an in form moment and are there any concerns about the South African golf future or kids coming through?

ERNIE ELS:  No, Brandon came close and Charl (had) an injury, some of the other guys came close, Erik van Rooyen.

Q.  Justin Harding?

ERNIE ELS:  Justin Harding was playing well.  So, there’s quite a lot of guys, they just didn’t quite do enough and we’ve got a lot of good talent coming through.  To come back to your question, yes, the last time there was one South African we won – so that could be a good omen.  Obviously, Louis is in great form and hopefully his body stays in shape.

KATHIE SHEARER:  We want to thank you and wish you all the best next week.

ERNIE ELS:  Thank you.

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.

Q.  Paul, did you feel in the zone today?

PAUL CASEY:  I guess the last sort of four really.  What did I birdie, the last four?  Yeah, the last four was nice.  I’ve not been able to get it close to any flag for about a day and a half and then suddenly the back nine for me, the front nine, the last half a dozen holes, suddenly some really good birdie opportunities.  I don’t know if it was fully in the zone but it was really nice stuff and it felt really good, so suddenly from a case of sort of bumbling around, just a couple under par, challenging for lead, probably in the lead right now; so good stuff.

Q. Do you feel the competitive juices flowing once you got going and can you explain how you flick a switch?

PAUL CASEY:  The juices are always there.  As I said earlier in the week, I didn’t come down here for a jolly.  The weather’s perfect in Arizona right now where I live, so it would be very easy to be back home.  I came down here to – I’ve never played an Aussie Open before and I’d love to win it.  Two victories this year, I’d love to have a third and that would be on three different tours, which would be pretty cool.  I don’t think I’ve done that before.  I’m not here to make up the numbers, I’m here to try and win.

Q.  You hold the lead now, after playing yesterday afternoon, do you think your lead will hold?

PAUL CASEY:  If the wind picks up, yes, but to be honest, I don’t really care.  It doesn’t matter whether I’m in the lead at the end of today, it’s whether I’m in the lead at the end of Sunday.  It’s just nice to stretch that out a little bit.  I saw Tringale was I think 8, is that right?  But there are a lot of guys capable of shooting great numbers.  We’ve got a great field here this week. As we saw with even young guys like Kevin Yu, who was shooting 6-under yesterday; a lot of guys don’t even know who he is.  So, there’s a lot of talent.  As I said, happy with the way I played.  If I continue to play the way I did today, then I’ll be very happy and I’ll give myself a great chance of winning this thing.

Q.  I might be misquoting you slightly from yesterday, but I think you said yesterday the definition of insanity was doing the same thing.

PAUL CASEY:  Yeah, expecting a different result.

Q.  Was that a victory for insanity today?

PAUL CASEY:  Yes, insanity won today, because I didn’t really change anything.  The strategy stayed the same, continued to hit very similar tee shots to the tee shots I hit yesterday.  Still stuck in the bunker on the right on five; it always seems the same, but the outcome was different.  But that could be something as simple as I said yesterday, there are variables that do change, such as pin positions, and that was the case a little bit today.  I think that the final stretch, the 8th hole here, which is a very difficult hole, suddenly perfect number, perfect pin position to use that slope.  Closest approach shot I’ve hit all week – no, that’s not true, because I hit one yesterday closer on the par 5, but things just click and I’m not going to change.  Hopefully the outcome won’t change from today.  It’s mad, isn’t it?  It’s madness.

Q.  Cameron, 6-under today, you must be happy with that, you’ve got something going?

CAMERON TRINGALE:  Yeah, thrilled.  I’ve putted really well the last couple of days and I’ve hit some good iron shots close, set myself up to drop some in.

Q.  You made a good birdie at the 14th after you went in the bunker, greenside bunker, that was a long putt.

CAMERON TRINGALE:  That was a nice putt; that kind of jump started my round.  I just had an iron into that hole, so I was disappointed with the result of the second shot and so to hole that nice putt from just off the fringe there put a spring in my step.

Q.  I know you were saying on TV before, I think you asked for an invite here.

CAMERON TRINGALE:  Hm-mmm.

Q.  You brought your wife, what’s your wife’s name?

CAMERON TRINGALE:  Her name’s Tasha.

Q.  And it’s your anniversary this week.

CAMERON TRINGALE:  December 1 was, so we were in the air on the way over, but we’re just enjoying the country, going to do a bit of sight seeing next week and enjoying the day.

Q.  Are you surprised that you’re so far up the top of the leaderboard?

CAMERON TRINGALE:  My game’s been in good form, so I suppose I’m not surprised but you never know in this game.  I’m happy to be where I’m at and I guess it’s a great place to play.  It’s a laid back mindset coming here, going to put my feet up for the rest of the weekend and chill out – the rest of the day anyway.

Q.  Have you ever played in Australia before?

CAMERON TRINGALE:  First time to the country, so I’m enjoying my maiden voyage.

Q.  What did you know about it before?

CAMERON TRINGALE:  Well, we have a tonne of guys in the States from here, so I’ve befriended a few.  I had an Aussie caddy at one point, so I’ve just always wanted to come down and experience it and get to see the country.

Q.  Did you speak to Jason about it, because you’re pretty close with Jason?

CAMERON TRINGALE:  We’ve talked about it quite a bit yeah, in the past, not specifically to this event or this trip, but he loves his country, as all the guys do, so it’s fun to see it.

Q.  Has anything surprised you about your trip here, apart from maybe the weather?

CAMERON TRINGALE:  Honestly, no.  The time change, I think I’m finally adjusting a little better to the five hour time change that we have from California.  It’s as expected, as advertised.

Q.  Did you reach out to Jason after he withdrew and he couldn’t play the President’s Cup next week, he’s having a few more issues with his back?

CAMERON TRINGALE:  I have not spoken to him since the news, no.

Q.  Are you playing the PGA, Australian?

CAMERON TRINGALE:  No, no plans to.  I’m just planning on heading back to the States for Christmas.

Q.  Where is your game at overall?  You’ve been a little bit quiet by your standards.  A few years ago you were probably a little bit more prominent.  What’s been happening for you?

CAMERON TRINGALE:  I’ve been just chilling out a bit, being married has helped, but I’ve had a new coach about the last year and a half and just slowly working on my game. Nothing happens quick in golf, I think it’s been a steady process to get in a little bit better form.  So, I’m happy with the trajectory that my game’s on and hopefully I’ll be able to keep it going this weekend.

Q.  Two birdies, one bogey, a fairly quiet day by the look of it.

CHUN AN YU:  Just can’t make any putts today, but overall it’s a solid round.  I had a go, so I’m really looking forward to the weekend.

Q.  So, you must be really happy with your position in that case, still 7-under, you’re going to be thereabouts?

CHUN AN YU:  Yeah, I just feel good and still two more rounds to go.  I still want to play better than the past two days, so hopefully on the weekend I can play better.

Q.  How did you find the conditions today, the smoke seems to have settled?

CHUN AN YU:  I feel much better.  Yesterday was super smoky and it feels not real good, but today, this morning it’s pretty quiet, not much wind and it feels great.

Q.  Any highlights today, any long putts?

CHUN AN YU:  Not really, just a quiet day, everything’s pretty solid.  I’d say two birdies I made, I hit it to five or six feet, super short.  I’d say at 11 I hit it to like four feet.  That was my highlight today, that was a good shot.

Q.  What’s your focus for the weekend?  What do you need to do to content here?

CHUN AN YU:  I would say just still do the same, I mean, not try and do something too much, just stay patient and step by step and hopefully can do great on the weekend.

KATHIE SHEARER:  What a fantastic round today.  You must feel very comfortable on the golf course.

CHUN AN YU:  Yeah, it feels great.  I’ve played here four, five years ago and so I know the course a little bit.  I played great out there, so hopefully tomorrow I can do it again, yeah.

KATHIE SHEARER:  The better scores actually came in this morning and this afternoon was much more difficult.  So, you’ve got an early start tomorrow, ready to go.

CHUN AN YU:  Yeah, ready to go.  Hopefully tomorrow morning hopefully is not as much wind as this afternoon, so hopefully tomorrow I can shoot a better round and hopefully do better.

Q.  Did the smoke and the ash bother you at all?

CHUN AN YU:  A little bit.  The air didn’t smell really good, but I can get used to it, so no big deal to me.

Q.  We don’t know much about you, where do you play your golf, what’s your background?

CHUN AN YU:  So now I’m playing college golf in Arizona State and I play golf for, I don’t know, 16, 17 years, so I grew up in Taiwan.  In my last year in Arizona State.

Q.  You’ve played here at the Australian Open before too?

CHUN AN YU:  Yeah, played here four or five years ago, yeah.

Q.  Which course?

CHUN AN YU:  This course.  I think 2015.

Q.  The Tournament Matt Jones one?

CHUN AN YU:  Yeah, yeah.

Q.  How did you go that year?

CHUN AN YU:  I think I finished 25th.

Q.  Can you talk us through your round – birdies, bogeys, any highlights?

CHUN AN YU:  I only made one bogey, which was on the 11th, missed a 10-footer putt for par and then I make some birdies.  My highlight probably, I’d say the last one, I had a great number here, 12-feet and then made the putt.

Q.  Two amateurs at the top of the leaderboard, what are you kids doing?

CHUN AN YU:  I don’t know, Takumi is a great player, he just won a professional medal like two weeks ago.  He’s really good.  I don’t know, we just do our own thing and try our best out here and just see what we can do here.

Q.  Do you know Takumi?

CHUN AN YU:  Yeah, we know a long time ago, play a lot of amateur events.

Q.  What’s the mindset from here then, three days to go obviously, but a fantastic start?

CHUN AN YU:  Just try my best, not think about the result that much, just keep going.  Still three days to go.  Still need to play great.  Hopefully you can win out here.  That’s my goal for this week.

Q.  One of those days, huh?

ADAM SCOTT:  I just was out of sorts out there.  I lost my rhythm after the first hole.  I thought I had two nice shots there and missed and then I really struggled on the front nine.  I hit some really bad drives that I left and didn’t scramble.  Not that I was really chipping either, I was coming in with full stuff for my thirds.  I didn’t play very good.

Q.  Do you put that down to competitive rust. You haven’t played since Aida, have you?

ADAM SCOTT:  No.  I hope so.  I kind of got it feeling a little bit better, but it’s always hard to put it right back in the slot when you’re out there and you’ve been pulling them and then you want to aim further left or whatever.  But, I felt a little better on my back nine and I couldn’t get a putt to go down, so hopefully a quick start tomorrow.  It’s much nicer to start off the 10th than the 1st, much more friendly. You can get off to a good start on the back nine and hopefully by the end of the day I can be in the red figures and start my climb.

Q.  How much of the smoke affects you personally, could you sense it?

ADAM SCOTT:  I’m used to it after the last few days.  I’ve been acclimatising.

Q.  Some of the guys who played in the morning, when they came back, said that their eyes were stinging and they were finding it hard to breathe.  The afternoon looked even worse than the morning.

ADAM SCOTT:  It got pretty thick for a while; it still is.  It’s not great.  The first day here my eyes, on Tuesday, my eyes were really stinging.   I don’t know.  I was joking that I need to cleanse, but it feels like I should shove a bit of salt water up my nose or something and try and rinse myself out.  Obviously not the conditions we want to be playing in.  You kind of hope for rain.

Q.  Can you do anything different to combat that tomorrow, combat the conditions?  Is there anything you can do?

ADAM SCOTT:  Maybe wear a mask, I don’t know.  Does it work?  I’ll have to do my research tonight.  I don’t know what we can do.  We can’t do much.  It’s the same for everyone and we’re out here playing, so you’ve got to get on with it.

Q.  Did it feel more like a rhythm thing or was it technical?

ADAM SCOTT:  Rhythm, it felt very quick from the top on a few swings.  My thought was to try and clear my hips, but I think I was clearing everything but.  I was a bit out of sorts.  About the 9th I kind of managed to find a bit of feeling, but I didn’t have a lot of feeling out there, which is tough to play, especially because it was windy and didn’t give you a lot of room for error on your start lines and I paid the price a few times.

Q.  Are you confident you can turn it around tomorrow?

ADAM SCOTT:  Yes, absolutely.  It’s nice to just find my feet eventually out there, although the score didn’t get much better on the back nine, I feel like, okay, at least I know kind of where it’s going now and we can chip away at this thing.  If I can maybe set myself a target of under par every nine for the next three days, one hot nine in there with that, it might get me up somewhere near the mark.  It’s going to take a little bit better play and certainly a bit better mental focus than I had today.
