Neither of us was doing very well so we decided to pay for $10 a birdie,

I got off to a perfect start. I birdied the first three holes. It's just great when you're defending and start well and be in contention again.

I am a little surprised, but delighted, to be back in it and with two rounds to go anything is still possible,

If it's at a good golf course, you're going to get a good field. And then there's scheduling. If it's in the right place on the schedule, you go.

There is going to be huge pressure on Michelle. But she's coped with everything so far and she's got a huge amount of talent. I think she will be great for women's golf.

Just an easy day. Practice a little bit; see what the greens are like. We've got until Friday. That's plenty of time to play the course.

It is going to be a huge week,

Every day you're going to see people shooting low scores. If I can keep shooting 5 or 6 under, it's going to be tougher for them to try to catch me.

I've been playing well all year and finished higher every time. If I can keep up the run, I'll be right up there on Sunday.

I've come close to victory here in the past so it's good to come back to a course where I have a bit of confidence.

I've played with Michelle a few times and it's amazing that she is such a great player at such a young age. It's going to be good for women's golf, but she is also going to have to cope with lots of pressure.

To start with three birdies in a row was perfect,

That gave me a lot of confidence and then I just started to chase more birdies. The key was that I drove the ball really well and hit a lot of good approach shots and I really only made one long putt.

I've had a few chances to win this year and never quite pulled it off, but I'm hoping that this could be my week.

I like the look of the tee shots and seem to be able to read the greens really well and there are a lot of birdies out there. Thankfully, I've managed to make a lot of them so far.

I love this course and I feel I'm playing really well at the moment so I'm hoping for another good week,

If you drive it well, you can set yourself up for short irons into the greens,

It was a disappointing way to end. But it was so slow and the pins were pretty brutal so under par was okay.

It's great to make such a big move.

I played pretty well today and made a lot of birdies. They came out strong.

I played really well again and seemed to do most things right,

I played really well again and seem to be doing everything right this week. There's just something about this course. I like the look of the tee shots and seem to be able to read the greens really well.

I played really well again today. I made my score on the front nine today, Thursday I made it on the back nine. It was nice to get that eagle on No. 9. And then I had a lot of chances there coming in 16, 17 I missed a couple of chances for birdie. But I'm very happy with the round.

It's great to be back. Doesn't feel like long since I've been here. Obviously going (over) the course, you remember some of the shots you hit last year.

The course is so exposed in places and the wind was swirling everywhere. I just hope we get the best of the weather tomorrow.

It is such a hard golf course, but we both made a lot of birdies. Hopefully, it will help bring more notice to Scottish women's golf.

It was really tough out there. I felt I played well enough, but it was so windy and the course is playing very long.
