What They're Saying

Alex Noren: "It's very nice and I'm very happy to play the way I did today, especially my putting. My whole game, in fact, was pretty good. It was a great start. I hit some good shots on one and two and holed a couple of good putts on four and five. The year has been fantastic. I've had a few good finishes and steadier play. I'm working hard on hitting the right shots at the right times, and on days like today you get a good test of it. Before I was maybe a bit one-dimensional in my game and always hit a fade. Now, I'm trying to hit a draw too. It's working a bit better."

Henrik Stenson: "It was tough conditions once again. I'm happy with the score. We're still a way back going into Sunday, but at least we have a chance. It was a bad momentum killer to three-putt the 17th, but I got it back on the 18th and this wind is going to thin out the number of guys at the top."
