		  AUCHTERARDER, SCOTLAND
  
		  Q.  Two excellent rounds of golf, any particular aspect responsible for the good scoring?  
MARK FOSTER:  Consistency, hit the ball well and kept the ball in play.  Holed a few putts, not as many as I would like.  
 
Q.  Doing well again here, and you've said this course doesn't suit you and it's been a long‑hitter's course and you're not a long hitter; how do you explain your success?  
MARK FOSTER:  I'm aggressive off the tee‑‑ it is a long hitter's course, you can see, that 16, I have to lay up and you can see people driving.  9 I can't get to; there are certain holes, but yeah, I stick to my own strategy and try to be a bit more aggressive on the other holes and try to make up for it there. 
 
Q.  You were disappointed with your play in the Scottish Open and took a five‑week break.  Tell us about that decision? 
MARK FOSTER:  As simple as you put it there.  I just thought you don't get much chance to take a break like that, so I thought I needed to regroup and that's the decision I needed to do it.  
 
Q.  What did you do on those five weeks?  
MARK FOSTER:  I took a four‑week holiday and practised really hard for one week.  Just spent some time at home, sort the house out.  
 
Q.  Is it a case of you had just had enough? 
MARK FOSTER:  Scottish Open, yeah.  Because I could have gone to Austria and if I was playing well, I would have gone to Austria, but I knew I wasn't in the right place to go there, that's why I took the five weeks, normally I play Austria, but I needed to break so I took it.  
 
Q.  What was your best single moment at the Olympics?  
MARK FOSTER:  Super Saturday.  Jessica Ennis, hers was amazing, but it was more of a celebration.
