Q. Do you like the scores with a north wind or a south wind?
TOM WATSON: North wind. The south wind that obviously makes it a different golf course. (Inaudible.) South wind up that hill, it's hard to get there in two, for old folks like us.
Q. (Inaudible.) The putts you're looking at today, 10 feet, 8 feet, 12 feet, did you feel comfortable over those?
TOM WATSON: A little bit, yes. I have had trouble with my stroke going inside too much with the short putts. It still goes inside (Inaudible.)
Q. (Inaudible.)
TOM WATSON: Honestly, this is not a very tough day to play. The volunteers are standing around at the tee boxes. They have to wear more clothes than we do, because we're walking and keeping warm. But it wasn't a tough day to play. The tough day to play was the first day. It was raining and the wind was blowing a little, about the way it was today, but it was tough, trying to keep your hands dry and warm and the grips dry. It was a tough day to play.
Q. (Talk about playing in bad weather.)
TOM WATSON: I will go out and play, though. I'll go out and play when the greens are frozen. Carry your own bag, putt my clubs in a Sunday bag and let's go.
Q. (Inaudible.)
TOM WATSON: I play pretty good. It's fun playing on frozen greens. Have you ever played on frozen greens? It's like a rock, it's like hitting on concrete. What do you do when the green is guarded in the front by a bunker? You land on the green and boing -- you have to play off to the side or you try to play a chest game.
Q. (Inaudible.)
TOM WATSON: Then what happens when it starts to fall, some of the greens then, they soften up. But then in the shade, they still bounce. You have to do a lot of guessing. A lot of giggles. A lot of hit and giggle.
