Justin Rose (69): "I didn't quite know what to expect, but I worked very hard in practice. It's been a windy road to get where I am, but I think all the bad experiences have made me tougher and made me more able to deal with the conditions you face in a major."

Tiger Woods (71): "I hit a couple of stray ones and didn't hit my driver very well, but I kept the ball in play most of the day, hit some really good irons and made some good putts. Overall I'm very pleased."

Colin Montgomerie (74): "I'm not very happy about that. I had just one birdie (at the 18th, his ninth) and that's not enough. I had lots of chances."

Sergio Garcia (75): "I just didn't play very well. I three-putted twice from just off the green and never got going. You have to realise you are going to have days like this, but it's unfortunate when it's in a tournament you really want to win."
