Padraig Harrington (69): "I was a bit cautious after the 12th and that was undoubtedly my downfall.

"But I would take 69 any day here."

Retief Goosen (69): "We're not coming here to make a living. We're coming to win and the Masters is probably the worst tournament you can finish second in."

Jesper Parnevik (70): "I think I was too scared of the course before.

"I had heard so many horror stories about it."

Paul McGinley (72): "It's the toughest course I've ever played and I really battled. Three years ago I think I would have got down on myself."

Michael Hoey (75): "The round was okay, but I would liked to have done a little bit better."

Arnold Palmer (89): "That will be it. I've been thinking about it for some time now. I am like everybody else and hoped I would get something going, but when I four-putted the first today the writing was on the wall.

"I'm not going to quit all golf, but I just think it's time here. My golf has been pretty lousy of late.

"It will be emotional tomorrow, but these things happen.

"I'm not sad about it, just sad about not playing well enough to represent the golf I would like to.
