Quick Quotes

Q. 6-under 66 for you today, Charl. What are some of the highlights from your round?

CHARL SCHWARTZEL: Yeah, I suppose what got it going was the chip-in on 5 for eagle, but to be honest, the way I played today was really good. Ball striking was phenomenal. I drove it good, straight, long. Hit my irons within making range all the time.

It was just a really good, solid round.

Q. What was the difference for you today? Swing thought or...

CHARL SCHWARTZEL: No. Well, every day has been good. Today I felt like I hit it more solid, especially with the driver. I had a bunch of opportunities. Only putt I made all day was the one on No. 17, and that was maybe a 10-footer. I had a whole lot of those that I didn't make.

But hit it so good I hit most of the par-5s in two, so I was making birdies, played them 5-under. So, look, I'm happy. It could have been lower, but sort of kept myself in it. I don't know, going to probably be a couple behind, and on this course it's just going to -- whoever is going to win is going to shoot a low score tomorrow.

Q. For you to be able to come out and shoot a low score tomorrow, considering how your game has been for the last three days and the weather we've got coming in, what will being the key for you tomorrow?

CHARL SCHWARTZEL: I mean, the key to shooting low scores is making putts, you know. This course is pretty generous, so if I keep hitting it good I'm going to have a lot of opportunities. You make some putts you can shoot a low score.
