Quick Quotes

Q. A magnificent round of 63 for a total of 21 under. Do you think it has a chance?

MATT WALLACE: Nah, maybe not. Maybe. The wind just switched.

I saw Paul, he's hit a lovely shot into 12 but the wind has switched more northeasterly. So it will be playing into the last three or four holes where I played it more across. So that plays a little bit more difficult.

But I need a bit of help.

Q. You were 6-under par through 11 and getting yourself into the equation at 18-under. Did you have a target score in mind?

MATT WALLACE: Not a target score. I thought the pins in the middle part, even though they are easier holes, are tucked way. They are pretty tough, and I just left myself 20, 25 feet on each hole and just missed them.

I hit a lovely shot into 16 and smashed the putt about eight-foot passed and holed one coming back, and then holed a lovely one on 17 and played 18 great.

Q. Fantastic round of golf. We'll wait and see where it leaves you.

MATT WALLACE: We'll see.
