VOLVO PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

May 24, 2003

Nick Faldo

NICK FALDO: Scoring is good. I arrived this morning to see Steady Eddie and Paul in, that's what got me going. After 10, you've just got to forget about what you're doing; just keep going for the score. Kept pushing myself along, so I'm pleased with that.

Q. Good scoring today.

NICK FALDO: Yeah, everything was just -- compared to what we had yesterday. I played all right. Just got to weasel a few more putts in. That would make a big difference.

Q. Do you feel like 25 PGA Championships --

NICK FALDO: Oh, gosh, sometimes. Some days. No; feeling all right. Feeling good and trying to charge along.

I had great -- I hit a really good pitch and it just -- had never been by there before in 25 years. That was a shame. I played the shot as well as I can do, but I'm in 9-under, and I could be three back or I could be five back. We'll see. We'll see what happens.

Q. Are you inspired by this course?

NICK FALDO: Yeah, I love to play. It's got a great rhythm to it. You've just got to get out there and get on the flow.

Q. Are you in the mood to win?

NICK FALDO: I feel good. I'm going to give it a blast and see what happens.

Q. Do you think conditions are going to change that much?

NICK FALDO: As I said, three or five back. Depends what Immelman does, he's gaining a lot of experience. He's a young guy looking for his big win. We shall see.

Q. And Paul Casey as well?

NICK FALDO: Yeah, he just won a couple weeks ago. He's good on these fescue greens, obviously.

Q. Do you see that kind of ambition in his eye that was in your eyes once?

NICK FALDO: Of course, yeah. These young guys, they are making their mark; aren't they.

Q. Do they ever see you --

NICK FALDO: No, I think they are still scared of me.
