THE 151ST OPEN

Danny Willett

Mixed Zone

.

DANNY WILLETT: Played pretty good. Had to come outside sideways of three bunkers which obviously is kind of the penalty at times. Which seems a little bit off and tee sideways, but should be around for the weekend, so gives you another two days to keep doing some bits and see if we can't have a reasonable finish.

Q. Like you said yesterday it was a bit in and out. How did you find the weather conditions?

DANNY WILLETT: Yeah, it's windier today. Wind was up, a bit chilly. Yeah, I mean, it's just a strong test of golf.

You look at a leaderboard, you play well, you can shoot a good score. You've got to hole putts obviously and if you get a little bit out of position this place can show some teeth.

Just a real good solid golf course, and I think the conditions as they are right now are real good. You're going to get, like you said, some guys shooting some low numbers and some guys battling to make birdie on the last couple to make the cut.

Q. What do you think is out there potentially?

DANNY WILLETT: I don't know. It depends what the weather does. It's supposed to get a bit breezy this afternoon, but we hit it pretty good and seemed to give ourselves a few chances, but not loads of them.

So you've just got to get the putter hot and you've just got to pray that if you do hit it off line it somehow misses the bunkers.

Q. Here for the weekend?

DANNY WILLETT: Fingers crossed. We'll see. I would have thought 3 would be fine. I think there's probably more chance of it going to 4 than being at 3, to be honest.

Yeah, we'll just have to see. Put my feet up, have a little bit of food, and hopefully watch guys struggle a bit.
