advantage blow course difficult four good guys help lead level might par played scoring surprised wind
With me being four off the lead then of course I will need any advantage I can get, and if the wind does blow it might help me. The course played difficult and I am surprised how good the scoring is and how many guys are under par - I thought level par would be a good score.

chip few five missed seems six stone time
You know, it was a day for battling, and I really battled. I started out great, just striped it the first five or six holes, then missed a few fairways by a yard. It seems every time you miss by a yard, you're stone dead. Every time I was, it was a chip out. But I managed to get pars.
bloody friday holes time
I bogeyed the first on Friday but from there went 53 holes without a bogey. That's a bloody long time around this course.

ball covers feet few grass ireland lost rough wet
It was only a few feet off the fairway but in the wet rough it buries. It weaves its way in and the grass covers it, ... I don't think I've ever lost a ball in Ireland before.

It's great to be in the final and will be even greater to win it, ... I don't want a second place. I feel I've played well again today against another world class player. I'll be the underdog again tomorrow, playing the U.S. Open champion so I'm going to have to play really well.
