THE OPEN QUOTES

Tiger Woods (66): "It's a good spot to be in.

"I knew if I played solidly and capitalised on some chances I could post a good number.

David Toms (67): "My first goal was to play the weekend because I didn't really know what to expect from the course and the whole place in general."

Jean Van de Velde (68): "There are 36 holes to go and I am in there again,".

Darren Clarke (69): "It would be more difficult if the wind started to blow but it could also mean that I hit more bunkers than I have so far - and I haven't been in one yet,"

Colin Montgomerie (70): "I was nearer the pin on nearly every green yet Davis (Love) scores four shots better than me,".

"My putting was horrendous and the only birdies I managed went in from less than three feet.

Lee Westwood (70): "I have not been striking the ball very well and under the circumstances, four under par for two rounds is the best I could have hoped for.

David Duval (70): "The problem with my back contributed to the bogey on 17,".

"I started practising at 7.30 this morning and I was basically on my feet for seven hours.

Ernie Els (72): "When you get the momentum going like yesterday the golf course seems quite easy,".

"But when it's going the other way like today it is a real struggle. I got away with a bit of a score today.

Jack Nicklaus (73): "Walking over the Swilken Bridge and up the 18th hole was very nice - but not on a Friday afternoon," he said.

"The people have been terrific and let me know they appreciated the good years that I've had in Scotland.

They welcomed me back and gave me a very nice farewell."
