Q. Well, good start to the week.
ERNIE ELS: Yeah, that was what I wanted, obviously, a couple of weeks off, watched a little bit of Ryder Cup. The course is in great shape. Q. How much have you gotten up here to play? ERNIE ELS: I just came twice. I'm just 30 minutes away in good traffic. Came up twice. As I say, when I played, the wind was howling, and then it's difficult, because then the rough comes in play and today it was pretty easy. Q. And you've had more or less a couple weeks off. Been working on anything in particular? ERNIE ELS: Yeah, actually, I worked a lot on my swing. I've been working on a couple of technical bits on my swing, and today it felt great. Hit the ball solidly, hit it quite far, hit a lot of greens, it was good. Q. You've had some really good rounds this year. Is it a matter of putting three or four really good ones together? ERNIE ELS: Exactly. I think that's what I've got to do. It's a very important week for me. I'd like to win obviously, but I'd like to finish with a good week here and see what happens. Q. Being from South Africa, did you watch the Ryder Cup and does that interest you at all? ERNIE ELS: Yeah, I live here, so it's a pretty big deal. I love watching it. I watch it every year. I watched a lot on Saturday. Didn't watch the match Friday and Sunday, but yeah, I like watching. End of FastScripts.
