QUOTES OF THE DAY

n The guys in the fitness trailer have done a great job on me. If it was any other tournament I would not be here. Greg Norman on his back problems.

n It's amazing for a man that tall to swing as well as he does. Norman on the 6ft 8in British amateur Gordon Sherry.

n There were nerves on the first tee but I was in control. I am surprised I have done this so quickly. I expected it to happen sometime but years down the line. It was great fun. Sherry on his first Open.

n I am real proud of myself. I don't think I have ever been so patient on a golf course in my life. John Daly after taking the joint lead with a round of 67.
