Q. Really solid round of golf. Bogey-free 67 has jumped you nicely up the leaderboard. Tell us about it from your point of view.
ADAM SCOTT: Yeah, I mean, it's a good round of golf, bogey-free, around a tricky golf course. It's playing tricky this year. It's quite dry and the wind's been up. It's not that easy to hit fairways, and then it's a real battle.
So I managed my game well. I think I'm putting better than it feels. It just feels like hard work on the greens this week. There's a lot of grain, a bit of wind; they are dry. You've got to pay attention. It was a good grind today.
Q. Do you think the fact it's a tougher test suits you, with all the experience that you have at this stage of your career?
ADAM SCOTT: Maybe, yeah. I think if I'm playing well, that kind of scoring where par is pretty good doesn't get me so frustrated. I feel like I generally play probably too conservative for the modern game, mostly. So a drive-firm golf course is nice for me to come and see rather than just throwing darts all the time. I feed into that kind of strategy, test a little bit better.
Q. 11 times you've won on the DP World Tour but we've had a six-year wait. How hungry are you to get back into that winner's circle's tomorrow? We know you've come close a couple times in the last few years, including this year at Wentworth, but tomorrow you have a really good chance, and what would mean to you to do it in such a way at an event of this stature?
ADAM SCOTT: Yeah, these are the kind of events -- I'd take any win, first of all, but these are the kind of events that I would love to putt on my resumé at this point in my career, being a long-time DP World Tour player, I would love to win one of their Flagship Events.
It would mean a lot just to win anything at this point for me but that would be really fantastic. It's a lot of motivation for tomorrow, and will be great motivation going into next year and seeing if I can find some more wins.
