Q. Ian, 5-under, spectacular golf. You played some amazing par saves on your final hole, some great birdies. How would you assess your day?

IAN POULTER: It was a great day. Birdied the first two holes of the day, and my game has been feeling really good for a long time. I don't know why, but you put the work in, you get contact lenses put in, you do little tweaks and bits and pieces. It turned into a nice round of golf today.

I'm hitting good golf shots. I feel like I'm rolling the ball really well. I made an up-and-down right here where we're standing, and you need to to shoot these scores on these type of golf courses. This is a long golf course for me.

Q. Golf's all about momentum. What are you going to do to keep it going the next few days?

IAN POULTER: Eat as much food as I can possibly get inside me. It was so hot out here, it was outrageous. I've got a pounding headache. Hydrate, eat, do no practice, and just try to conserve some energy for the weekend.

Q. You had your beautiful family out here supporting you today. You're staying with them this week. How special is that?

IAN POULTER: It's amazing. They don't get to come and watch too many times. Luke drove in. He's been practicing in New Jersey for a few days getting ready for U.S. Am next week. So he walked round. Hopefully, it was a nice mojo showing him Dad's still got a bit of action in the tank. Hopefully it can spur him on next week.
