“It means a lot to me to win the national title. To finish 13-under-par round a course as tough as this is very encouraging and this has given me a good boost. I was here to be shot at so it's nice to win when I'm supposed to.”
Paul Lawrie
“I owe today's round to [three] birdies on the par-5 holes. But if you want to win, you also have to make birdies on the par-4 holes.”
Yuri Fudo
“I had a very, very sub-par year last year, and to come out and win one of our majors is gratifying.”
Kevin Shields
“It's incredible, ... If you had told me I'd have been under par for four rounds out here, I wouldn't have played [and just taken the score].”
Scott Hess
“We had our best round of the year going and stood about 7-over par with six holes left. Then we fell apart down the stretch, shooting 16-over in the final six holes.”
John Hackney
“Jon Burke had a solid round. He was 3-under with six left, but made a double on a par 3, then bogeyed the tough par-3 17th to finish at even par.”
“I just want to keep playing as I have been doing and shooting sub-par rounds. I think if one of us shoots four- or five-under on Sunday, (he) could take it. I am looking forward to it. I have been in a share of the lead every day and feel I have responded well.”
