Retief Goosen Course Quotations

Obviously, the golf course is only going to get tougher as the week goes on. If I can keep striking the ball solid and keep it in play, we can try for Sunday.

I think the guys would like to play this type of golf course more often, ... I think this is a true test of your golf. You really cannot get away with any bad part of your game around here.

I think the course setup was perfect today. Tomorrow it might blow a gale, and we'll all be moaning at things. But I don't think anybody will be unhappy with the way the course played today.

I think the course is playing the best I've seen it for a while for everybody: shorter hitters, longer hitters, the fairways are running out of places a little bit, so even the shorter hitters are getting some distance out on the fairways.

I think the course is in as good of shape as I've seen it in the last five years. You know the fairways are running a little bit and some holes are actually playing shorter than it's played in the last five years, purely because you get some run in the fairways.

I think the course is definitely a better course. The course today was a perfect setup. Tomorrow, it might blow a gale, and we'll all be moaning at things.

I think the course is definitely a better course. It's tough, that's for sure. The rough is just slightly longer than it's been in the past two years. With the fairways getting so firm now, the rough tends to stop the ball a little bit from running into the trees.

I think any golf course they make longer plays into the hands of Tiger. I think he's just smiling. You haven't heard him complaining about that. The longer they can make it, the better for him.

Everybody struggled, ... The course wasn't easy and, you know, I'm just lucky to be on top.

The ball is running 30 yards down the hill. They are probably going to go and throw a ton of water on the fairways to make it not run. But I think it would be nice to see the course dry for a change.

It's very much a driving course now. You have to drive it straight. In the past, you could drive it anywhere and get on the greens. Now every part of your game is getting tested.

I'm going to need to shoot six under to have a chance to win because there are a lot of guys up there but hopefully there will be a bit more breeze to make the course slightly more difficult.

I just couldn't make a putt today to save my life. On a golf course like this, its so tough that anything can happen.

I don't think anybody will be unhappy with the way the course played today.
