Neither of us was doing very well so we decided to pay for $10 a birdie,

I got off to a perfect start. I birdied the first three holes. It's just great when you're defending and start well and be in contention again.

I am a little surprised, but delighted, to be back in it and with two rounds to go anything is still possible,

If it's at a good golf course, you're going to get a good field. And then there's scheduling. If it's in the right place on the schedule, you go.

There is going to be huge pressure on Michelle. But she's coped with everything so far and she's got a huge amount of talent. I think she will be great for women's golf.

It is going to be a huge week,

Just an easy day. Practice a little bit; see what the greens are like. We've got until Friday. That's plenty of time to play the course.

To start with three birdies in a row was perfect,

Every day you're going to see people shooting low scores. If I can keep shooting 5 or 6 under, it's going to be tougher for them to try to catch me.

I've come close to victory here in the past so it's good to come back to a course where I have a bit of confidence.

I've been playing well all year and finished higher every time. If I can keep up the run, I'll be right up there on Sunday.

I've played with Michelle a few times and it's amazing that she is such a great player at such a young age. It's going to be good for women's golf, but she is also going to have to cope with lots of pressure.

That gave me a lot of confidence and then I just started to chase more birdies. The key was that I drove the ball really well and hit a lot of good approach shots and I really only made one long putt.

It was really tough out there. I felt I played well enough, but it was so windy and the course is playing very long.

It is such a hard golf course, but we both made a lot of birdies. Hopefully, it will help bring more notice to Scottish women's golf.

It's great to make such a big move.

It's great to be back. Doesn't feel like long since I've been here. Obviously going (over) the course, you remember some of the shots you hit last year.

I've had a few chances to win this year and never quite pulled it off, but I'm hoping that this could be my week.

It was a disappointing way to end. But it was so slow and the pins were pretty brutal so under par was okay.

I love this course and I feel I'm playing really well at the moment so I'm hoping for another good week,

I like the look of the tee shots and seem to be able to read the greens really well and there are a lot of birdies out there. Thankfully, I've managed to make a lot of them so far.

If you drive it well, you can set yourself up for short irons into the greens,

I played really well again today. I made my score on the front nine today, Thursday I made it on the back nine. It was nice to get that eagle on No. 9. And then I had a lot of chances there coming in 16, 17 I missed a couple of chances for birdie. But I'm very happy with the round.

I played really well again and seem to be doing everything right this week. There's just something about this course. I like the look of the tee shots and seem to be able to read the greens really well.

I played really well again and seemed to do most things right,

I played pretty well today and made a lot of birdies. They came out strong.

The course is so exposed in places and the wind was swirling everywhere. I just hope we get the best of the weather tomorrow.
