Marc Leishman
Quick Quotes
Q. Some thoughts on your round today. Obviously that putt on the last was pretty special. 4-under; happy with that?
MARC LEISHMAN: Yeah, happy with that. Always feel like you could be one or two better. Really good putt on 9 for par, and then really good putt there on 18 for par.
Q. Overall what did you think you did the best?
MARC LEISHMAN: I thought I drove it really well actually. Drove the ball well, and that gives you chances going into the greens. You can actually attack flags from the fairway.
Putted great. Had that 3-putt on 11 which was disappointing, but apart from that hit the putts where I wanted to. Probably most pleasing thing is the driver. Drove it really good; best I've driven it in a long time.
Q. Are you surprised given the dampness that 6-under is leading?
MARC LEISHMAN: Not really. I mean, it's playing pretty long, to be honest. Normally you can get to, what is it, 6 you can normally get there for two; couldn't sniff that today. Well, we couldn't.
Going into 13 with a 2-iron; normally going in there with a 4-, 5-, 6-iron. You can run it up on 15. There are a few holes that played tougher. Yes you could go at it on the greens, but they weren't like stupidly soft. If you didn't hit a well-struck iron shot it would still release a little bit, which is good. Fun golf course. Set up really good. Unbelievable condition. Hopefully sun comes out and can dry it out a bit.
Q. How much better do you feel when you hole a putt like that on the last from 20 something feet for par?
MARC LEISHMAN: Yeah, really good. Really good. It's nice. Actually hit a (indiscernible) second shot. It was meant to be two yards right of the pin and was it one yard left, and all of a sudden you're looking at a really hard up and down rather than a 10-footer for birdie.
It's nice when you can do that. You walk up that hill a little bit quicker.
Q. Finally, I've got to ask. You've gotten a lot of exposure in the last 24 hours for your lawn mowing skills. What sort of comments have you had from other players?
MARC LEISHMAN: Yeah, a lot of comments. Yeah, come across really well. Everyone has been really happy about it. Just very interested about it really. Something I love doing, as you could tell. Yeah, all positive. All positive feedback, apart from the bare feet.
