Charl Schwartzel

Quick Quotes

Q. Assess your round today a little bit with the weather, everything else, the great eagle. What did you like out there?

CHARL SCHWARTZEL: It wasn't easy. I thought I played exceptionally well. If you count the fringe on 18 as a green hit, that would have been 15 greens in regulation for me. Just had a real poor day with the putter.

Normally in the cold I struggle, and today I played beautifully. So just a bad day with the putter.

Q. Normally you have a hard time with the cold?

CHARL SCHWARTZEL: I do. I really struggle swinging in the cold. I thought I did a great job today. I actually hit the ball good. Hit 15 greens in these conditions; I'll take that any day.

Q. What about contending, tied for fourth? I know you went down to 2-under for the day. That's something else.

CHARL SCHWARTZEL: Yeah, you know, Scottie's playing good golf, but there's 18 holes to go. You never know. Going to have to shoot something around the 66 mark, I would think, to maybe have a chance. Then it's up to him what he does.

If he plays well tomorrow, then he determines his own destiny.

Q. Are you guys playing together tomorrow then? You've got Cameron, I guess.

CHARL SCHWARTZEL: No, Cameron will be playing.

Q. Your though tomorrow is just go out and play your?

CHARL SCHWARTZEL: It's a tough course and a lot of things can happen, as we've seen guys shoot 50 on the back nine. This course gives you some opportunities if you can get in the right spots.

So keep swinging, create some opportunities just to see if I can make some putts.
