Joe Ogilvie

JOE OGILVIE: Yeah, it was almost just two separate 18 holes of golf or two separate nines. Front side, I think I missed one fairway. The back side I think I hit one fairway. So 32 and 38, I mean, that sums it up right there. 11, I knocked it in the water off the tee with a 7-iron, just kind of terrible swing. Really that is about it. The wind really was a factor out there. No. 10 normally, it is just a driver, or a 3-wood. Today, I hit 3-wood off the tee, but I was really cognizant of the water I thought maybe I could hit it through the fairway through the water which I think a few guys did. Consequently, I hit it in the bunker; couldn't get to the green and didn't chip up and make par. But I certainly think the wind was a big factor on that back side. Tough to hit the ball in the fairway, tough to make -- just tough to make a birdie. 16 was really the only gimme on the back side. 11 is always going to play tough. 14 is always going to play tough. Then the bogey on 18, I just-- thought I hit -- actually, I think I had my best swing of the back side; just didn't draw for me. Hit it in the rough, hit it left in the water; then made a good bogey. But it was certainly a tough day on the back side. The front side is pretty much giving you a lot of birdies. But I think it will be the same way tomorrow whoever plays the back side the best will win.

JOE OGILVIE: I think it is going to be a fun game tomorrow. Bob is what, 13, 14, 15, I don't even know.

JOE OGILVIE: So now, you know, shoot 38 the back side, 3-over, I am two shots off the lead. I think it is going to be real fun. I can't wait to go play. It is fun to have a chance to win. I am very comfortable in this situation, although I haven't been here on Tour, every time I was on the Nike Tour in this situation I felt like it was my tournament to win or lose or not to lose, but to win. I am not saying I feel that right now, but I do feel very, very comfortable in this situation.

JOE OGILVIE: If it's a day like today with the wind, you know, I think if somebody gets to 15, I think they are looking pretty solid. If there is no wind, maybe 16, 17 -- 16. You know, just depends. Obviously you know, there is guys at 8-under, they'd have to shoot -- if there is no wind probably going to have to shoot 7-, 8-under to win, so that takes a lot of guys off the field. 15, 16-under is a good number.
