Nick Faldo

Q. Nice back nine.

NICK FALDO: Yeah, that was really great. As I said, I played well yesterday, the driving was bad. But then I just kept firing away, and I hit -- I finally made a putt on 11 and made a very -- two really good solid shots at 12, driver and 3-wood to the front edge, two good putts there. Made a good putt at the next. And then the only bad shot I hit, pulled a 5-wood down 15. It's that first bunker and had a clear shot, 4-iron into the green. Then hit driver and 3-iron and holed about a 25 plus-footer on 17 which is great. And got up-and-down. So I was just hanging there. I was just really trying my best on each shot.

Q. What is it about this place, last year (inaudible) --

NICK FALDO: Wentworth's got great rhythm to it. It is a great layout and I think experience pays around here, especially in this sort of weather, you know, and I am still learning how to read these greens. Try different things everyday and it seemed to work today.

Q. Driving well?

NICK FALDO: I drove well at the back nine. Good tee shots.

Q. Did you use every club in the bag?

NICK FALDO: I don't know if I used every club in the bag, probably did. Yeah, I guess I did.

Q. (Inaudible)?

NICK FALDO: It would be nice to keep up this momentum, that would be great. If I can carry on that, that's all I can try and do, isn't it? Just try -- yeah, I am just trying to be aggressive on every hole and go for it. It doesn't matter if it doesn't happen, I just want to see if I can make it happen.

Q. (Inaudible)?

The crowds are growing.

Q. (Inaudible)?

NICK FALDO: On each shot really just be well focused and, you know, just pushing myself a little harder to make myself do it.

Q. Are you really enjoying golf this year?

NICK FALDO: It's nice to play well. I really struggled the last couple of years, so it is nice to hit some good shots; make a score. That's the most important thing, make a score.

Q. How is the injury right now?

NICK FALDO: It's not bad. It's there, but Dale does a great job. He gets me back to sort of zero. It will tighten up during the day, but it's not bad.
