Quick Quotes

Q. A 4-under par round of 68 to add to your 3-under total. How pleased with your day's work?

RICHARD GREEN: Oh, very pleased with it, yeah. It was a nice round of golf, to go out and play with Paddy and feel the heat of battle out there was pretty good and pretty good to execute the shots that I needed to and to perform. You know, to get that score in the end has set me up for tomorrow.

Q. We had a chat on 11 and you said you were aware of the situation at that stage, I think you were five or six behind. How aware that K.J. had some problems you and were tied for the lead with a couple to play?

RICHARD GREEN: I was surprised to see that, really. Saw the scoreboard on 17, and saw that he dropped a few to come back. That brings us back into the game, doesn't it. So you know, we'll see how it goes tomorrow.

Q. You've obviously finished second and third in senior majors this year. Have you learned from those experiences anything that you can use tomorrow?

RICHARD GREEN: As much as I can. As much as I can take out of them, myself and how I deal with the pressure. Us players, you know, I think you've got to learn in those situations to deal with the pressure the right way. As much experience as you can have in those situations is good. I'm going to take that little bit of experience out of those events and see how I go.

Q. How excited to have the opportunity to win your first senior major tomorrow?

RICHARD GREEN: Very, very excited.
