Quick Quotes

HENRIK STENSON: I had the pleasure of finishing on the 2nd here, which I think is 500 yards straight into the wind, playing 550, so there's a couple of brutal holes out there. Even when you've got shorter clubs, it's so hard to control a wedge shot from 120, 130 yards in these crosswinds. It's definitely playing tricky. Those guys shooting 3-, 4-, 5-under, that's a heck of a round of golf.

Q. The 2nd green is right there. We saw you hole a six-footer for par to shoot 1-under --

HENRIK STENSON: Yeah, I'm pleased with that.

Q. That meant every member of your team was under par today. That's incredible golf by your teammates.

HENRIK STENSON: Yeah, so Sam was holding on early doors and myself, and then all of a sudden I saw them starting to make moves. I saw Ian and Westy were having good days out there, and then all of a sudden Sam finished with some birdies, and he's right up there. I played with him yesterday, and great to see him in contention.

Q. This is Sam on the 5th hole, his second shot.

HENRIK STENSON: Yeah, that's not a hole that's playing a lot, lot longer. You're happy to get it in the fairway and set up a birdie chance for sure.

Q. This is Westwood on the 1st.

HENRIK STENSON: Hello. Boom.

Q. This is yourself on 9, Henrik.

HENRIK STENSON: About an assist from the coin of Mr. Schwartzel. It actually ricocheted a little bit.

Q. You must be proud of Sam to back up a good round.

HENRIK STENSON: Yeah, he was playing well yesterday. He made six birdies and three really good par saves yesterday, so he kept it tidy, so great to see him keeping it up.

Q. This week as a team you guys have hit more greens than any other team. You're 67 percent right now, ranked first. That's got to feel pretty good. Is there anything you guys did before this week started? Did you huddle up? What's going on with the Majesticks?

HENRIK STENSON: I think if we as a team, if all the individuals are playing solid, I think all scores to count is certainly something that will benefit us over the season. I think looking back at some of the previous years, I think we've been one of the more consistent teams, but we haven't really had those low rounds getting in there. Especially with the conditions being as they are, being tough, then if we can just keep on grinding away all of us and playing solid tee to green, then we should give ourselves some good chances.

Q. Given the position you guys are in, do you want tomorrow to be similar conditions --

HENRIK STENSON: Of course, yes.

Q. You don't want softer conditions?

HENRIK STENSON: No.

Q. Why?

HENRIK STENSON: Because we've done well in these conditions.
