THE BARCLAYSAugust 24, 2013Justin RoseJERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY Q. 3‑under 68 in round two, is that a good 68 or a questionable 68? JUSTIN ROSE: It's a good 68. Starting out this morning, we had four holes to play. The damage was done going down 15 late last night. I hit it in the edge much the bunker in the fescue and had to start the day struggling to save par. 18 was just a bear this morning. Made bogey there, too. But made birdie on 16 to I felt like even the card a little bit. But at this stage of the tournament, 6‑under, a few off the lead, somewhere in contention is a good place to be. Q. Do you feel you guys got the good end of the draw or the bad end of the draw? JUSTIN ROSE: I thought it was going to be the good end of the draw but I would have to say the hard end of the draw right now. This wind is making it really tough out there. The humidity has dropped. The greens are rolling about, I don't know, a foot and a half quicker than they were yesterday. The pin placements become tricky when you see them with extra speed. You're having to be very defensive with your putts out there, so I felt like mind‑set changed out there this morning, rather than making birdies, it was about hanging on. Q. What was the plan going into this afternoon's round? JUSTIN ROSE: Just more of the same. This course can be tricky and I think a lot of guys are in the mind‑set of making birdies. But with some added wind out there and the greens quickening up, you have to be a little more defensive with your iron play and put the ball in the right spot. And yeah, I think maybe you'll see scoring level out. Obviously need a good solid round to give yourself a chance on Sunday.
