Quick Quotes

Q. You shot the joint best round of the day out there. You're just three shots off the lead. I mean, this great run of form for you doesn't seem to be ending, does it?

ESTHER HENSELEIT: Yeah, I played really well. Had a great front nine and then kept it going on the back nine, and yeah, just a really solid day. Didn't make many mistakes. Kept it pretty easy and simple and rolled in a few putts.

Q. Going to take you back a little bit because yesterday you picked up on 8. What mental strength are you showing to fight back from that and put yourself back in the tournament?

ESTHER HENSELEIT: Yeah, I mean, I just had a little meeting with the bunker, and everyone knows Scottish bunkers are no joke. So it took me a little while to get out.

But in the end, yeah, I hit three shots in the bunker. It was a triple. So it weren't special in the end, and yeah, fought back great afterwards, especially the back nine was really good yesterday. Just try to enjoy the challenge of links golf with wind and everything.

Q. One more day to go. Realistically you've got to do something similar tomorrow. Four- to six-under should be enough and you've shown you can do it. So I guess the belief is there that you can close it out?

ESTHER HENSELEIT: Yeah, I mean, I'm just going to try to concentrate on my own game. Go shot-by-shot and yeah, in the end, I hope I can shoot a good score and we'll see where we stand end of the day tomorrow.
