GARRY HOUSTON: I made a couple putts on the par 5s, three really good up and downs. Started to hit the fairways, had a few good iron shots close. And 7, I hit it quite close in there with a 6 iron. I had a 2 putt on 6 for birdie and birdied 7. I missed about a 6 footer on 8 for birdie. I hit it in the rough on the last. Q. Inaudible? GARRY HOUSTON: No bogeys out there is good for me, it's a long course. I did get in the rough a few times but did manage to get around today. Still the putter felt solid really, after a week off, and I didn't really make any big mistakes on the greens. The greens were getting a little bit warm, so maybe we got the best of the weather. Q. In Russia, you said that you were feeling a little bit tired inaudible? GARRY HOUSTON: No, I didn't feel lethargic today. You've got to get up for a tournament like this. This is a huge tournament; all of the big guys are here. You get more excited about a tournament like this, put it that way. Maybe Russia was a bit smaller. Q. Presumably the week off has done wonders as well, just recharging the batteries? GARRY HOUSTON: Yes, it's good rest. I hurt my ribs in Russia so I didn't pick up a golf club. You know, it did do me good. Q. How did you hurt your ribs? GARRY HOUSTON: I think it could have been anything. I chipped it down the last four holes on Sunday because I couldn't make a backswing. I was actually thinking of pulling out here. The physios have done a great job here. They have made it feel easier, just a matter of trusting it, the pain is gone, just a matter of trusting it that it will be all right. Q. It will be all right for the next three days? GARRY HOUSTON: Hopefully. End of FastScripts.
