Paul Broadhurst Quotations

I was pleased with that because I'm not going to hit a lot of fairways round here -- my driving stats prove that.

I am still in with a chance tomorrow. It's not over. You never know at this course -- anybody could shoot 75, but then again 17-under might be the winning score if someone goes out and plays really well.

From then on, it was a bit of a struggle.

If it was any other tournament and I hadn't shot 64 in the first round I might not be quite so determined. I don't want to give the trophy away too easily.

I was thinking on Wednesday perhaps I ought to go home, even though I knew what I was doing wrong.

It felt like a visit to the dentist's out there. But I persevered, and my short game got me out of trouble.

Bob will be really pleased. My win is a tribute to his hard work.

I've never really found my form this early in the season. That's a big thing as I'm trying to get into the top 64 in the world. I found my game last week and I came here with a bit more confidence. If I can shoot a low one, another 67 maybe, finish in the top three, possibly win it, it should move me up the world rankings.

(Ryder Cup captain) Ian (Woosnam) has rung me already to congratulate me. Obviously I'd love to play again.

It was a tough day. It was quite windy, but I felt I was pretty solid today.

It was a tough day and I didn't play that well. It was always going to be that type of day. I think the best player on the day won the tournament. I was just trying to hang in there for as long as possible.

I tried to play it like it was a normal day, and just chip it down there. It wasn't that difficult of a shot, I didn't think.

It now feels as though you'll hit left and there's out of bounds left here for eight holes. It's funny how it happens. One day I can't hit it, the next I'm leading the tournament.

I played really well for eight holes and did not miss a shot. I am still in it as I have not done too much damage. I was behind last year and came through, so it can be done.

In the back of my mind, when I was playing the eighth I was thinking of 62, which was my lowest round ever. But it was not to be.

All day I was thinking to myself, just play, and don't be concerned about leading the field. The wind was doing all sort of tricks but I didn't really hit a bad shot until 13.
