INVERNESS, SCOTLAND
MARTIN LAIRD: Not too happy, 2‑over, but another good week. You know, I played, as the day went on, I started hitting a lot better shots. My short game was not very good today. I don't know if the greens were slower because of the wind but I just really struggled getting the ball to the hole and any time I did, I pushed it or pulled it, and that was really the case today. I didn't putt very well at all.
Q. Just suddenly the wind blows‑‑
MARTIN LAIRD: Yeah, obviously that had something to do with it. It was tough to get close to a lot of the pins. The course setup was tough today. Yesterday I thought the pins were slightly easy and today they toughened them up, as they should be on a Sunday. With this wind picking up, some of those holes are playing very tough, and just didn't really give myself enough good looks, and when I did, I didn't make them.
Q. Is this what you can expect next week at Lytham?
MARTIN LAIRD: I wasn't really out there thinking about next week, but you know, looking back, that's one thing that was good about today, get used to hitting some of those shots. As I said, I got more comfortable and started hitting a lot better ones coming in, controlling my ball flight a lot better. Starting the round, I struggled a little bit with that.
Q. Do you ever find it's easier in the wind‑‑
MARTIN LAIRD: I don't see any difference really. As I said, I struggled with the pace of the greens today. I just couldn't get the ball to the hole all day, especially in the wind, I was leaving them not just a foot short, but five, six feet short; 30, 40 feet, and leaving myself a lot of work from there.
