Quick Quotes

Q. Obvious disappointment to bogey the last but on a day when you needed something special to make inroads into a four-shot deficit, how pleased with your day?

ROBERT MacINTYRE: I'm delighted. The last is a difficult hole, whether it's flat calm, downwind, into the wind, it's difficult and when they put the pin up that top shelf it makes it even harder. Overall I played absolutely brilliantly. Tee-to-green was solid again. Rolled the putter beautifully. Just got to let it happen.

Q. Seven birdies and an eagle, and the crowd were getting louder and louder as you were going along. What was it like from your point of view?

ROBERT MacINTYRE: It's brilliant. To come home and have the home support, I said it from the start, I just want to be in with a chance going into Sunday and I've given myself that chance. Back home in Scotland, I said it from the start, it's one I want but I can only control me and I've controlled myself very well so far. I have 18 holes to control myself even more.

I've not been shy in saying it: The Scottish Open is the one I want. It's not going to change tomorrow. I'm in that position. I've been doing good things. I've been playing well. Not just this week but for the previous kind of eight weeks, I feel like my game has been in good shape. Tomorrow is just another round of golf, and I've just got to control me and if I do that well, then I'm going to be in with a chance.
