What They're Saying

Sam Walker (via European Tour): "It was tough out there, but if you played with the wind a little bit, you'd create some chances and that's what I did. I play with a fade, so I can use the wind to my advantage a little more than other people. It was really steady. I didn't make anything after the turn, even though I was playing lovely. At the sixth, I went over the corner with a driver and came up just short of the green, then I chipped in."

Pontus Widegren: "I'm definitely looking forward to the weekend. I got a taste of being in the final few groups last week and it's a lot of fun seeing your name on the boards and chasing that top spot, so I'm excited."
