Cameron Smith

Quick Quotes

Q. A third-round 73 has you 1-under. You must be a little frustrated by that.

CAMERON SMITH: Yeah, that was a frustrating day, especially before the delay I felt like I played some really solid golf. I just didn't hole the putts. There was probably three or four putts on that front nine alone that any other day I hole them. Just today wasn't the day.

Q. You made a great recovery on 1 but the putts just weren't rolling at all on the front nine, were they?

CAMERON SMITH: Yeah, I actually found that the greens were a little bit slower today. I actually left quite a few putts above the hole short. I'm usually pretty decent with lagging them down there and really getting the speed right, so it left me a little bit, I don't know, confused, I think. But nonetheless, it was a pretty good day. Nice to go out there this afternoon and have a few birdies and kind of make dinner taste a bit better.

Q. Play was suspended for 75 minutes. Did you use that time to reset, because you were bogey-free after the delay?

CAMERON SMITH: Yeah, a bit of a reset. I had a couple of sandwiches, a Diet Coke and took it easy. I was a little bit frustrated, to be honest. I almost felt like a beer.

Yeah, it was good to have that delay, I think, and just kind of settle the mind a little bit and go back out there a bit fresher.

Q. Has the rain made the golf course completely different or just a little bit different?

CAMERON SMITH: It was actually amazing how much slower the greens were and how much more receptive they were this afternoon. Hopefully we don't get too much more tonight. I know there's maybe a little cell coming through, so hopefully it's firm and fast tomorrow.

Q. What's the strategy for tomorrow? Do you play aggressive, try to catch the lead, or do you play your own game?

CAMERON SMITH: I mean, there's scoring opportunities out here typically on Sunday, so I think you've just got to go out there and try and be aggressive and try and make the most of it.
