Quick Quotes

Q. Thanks for joining us. How good does a 69, 3-under par round on this golf course feel in these conditions?

RICHARD GREEN: It feels great. It's great to come back to Carnoustie after a lot of experience here through The Opens that I've played and the Dunhill Links tournaments that I've played, and to go out there and shoot a score on this golf course is very rewarding.

Q. You finished fourth here in 2007. Is this a course you particularly look forward to playing, or do you just like them tough? Because it's tough.

RICHARD GREEN: I do like it here. I played well in the final round of The Open in 2007, and to run fourth and hold the course record for however many years, has been great.

I've always come back here to the Dunhill Links and been excited about playing here. It's a beautiful course and great conditions that seem to suit my eye a little bit. No doubt it's extremely challenging and difficult. We all know that. But it just seems to just pull out great golf when you score well and I like that.

I've been hitting good golf shots a lately and getting a bit of reward for it, and it's nice.

Q. Second and third in senior majors this year. Where is your confidence now? You're clearly playing well.

RICHARD GREEN: It's up there. Still pretty humble about my golf. I understand it's difficult to win against the calibre of field that's here.

I'm just going to go about it each day at a time and do what I've got to do to try to put myself in with another chance on Sunday.

But those two results, obviously, have built some confidence over those big events and big tournaments, and you know, hopefully I can get there again on Sunday.
