Quick Quotes

Q. Incredible 31 coming home. When we spoke on the course you were clearly in considerable pain. How deep did you have to dig to shoot that?

PAUL BROADHURST: I made a bit of a mess down No. 7. Just after I spoke to you, poor tee shot, and had to declare a penalty on myself.

Q. Lapse of concentration?

PAUL BROADHURST: I don't know, my balance wasn't quite right, and I sort of pulled out of it. Putter went past the ball -- and went past it. I checked with the referee. I had made a legitimate attempt at it but I sort of went back and didn't get to the ball. So I had to call that.

Yeah, it was tough. I just sort of was getting it around. Back nine was a little bit better. Downwind is a little bit easier, and nice birdie at 10, which is a bit of a bonus. You don't normally expect to birdie 10. In my mind, I was thinking the two par 5s, if I make two 4S there. But 17 was a bonus, really. I was quite happy with one.

Q. Are you adapting your technique to deal with your injury you? Can't load up your right side properly?

PAUL BROADHURST: I honestly don't know. Maybe. I know I'm getting stuck on my right side. I'm not pushing off it enough. I'm not covering the ball how I would like. Haven't got the answer. I don't think my coach has got any answers.

My son is up here working with me this week, Sam, and actually played really well Monday, but it has not been quite the same since Monday.
