DAVID GILFORD: I played well. I putted very well. Got away with a couple of bad shots with pars and good putts. I dropped one shot at the third, but apart from that, I played very well. I haven't played that much, I haven't played particularly well. I always enjoy playing here. It's one of my favorite tournaments of the year, really and I like the way it's played. It's a quite hard event. The greens are quite firm. I think it sort of suits me, as well, but I do always like it. Q. You pulled out of Italy a couple of weeks ago, did you have an injury? DAVID GILFORD: I just had some trouble with my shoulder the last two or three weeks. Q. No problems today? DAVID GILFORD: It's not too bad. I had a bit of trouble with my neck, but it disappears. It's not too bad. Q. You've had a few rounds around here, haven't you? DAVID GILFORD: I've played every since '89 was the first year. I played every year since then. I finished sixth a couple of times. I finished about 8th. Finished about 12th or 13th last year. Q. Is it one of your favorites? DAVID GILFORD: Yeah, I think it's probably my favorite week. I love the course. It's obviously a big tournament, as well. Q. How is it playing this week DAVID GILFORD: Compared to last year? Q. or other years. A bit bouncy, the guys are saying. DAVID GILFORD: It's been like this in the past. Just depends on the weather. I think this is how they like to get it. It's a bit bouncy and the greens are quite firm. I think if we could get it like this every year, they would like it. It has played a bit long the last few years because it's been a bit wet. More rough than they used to have, but I like the course. Q. 5 under is a good round? DAVID GILFORD: Yeah, certainly I was pleased. End of FastScripts.
