"I struggled on the back nine both days and that comes down to not hitting enough fairways and not hitting enough greens. I hit 50 percent of fairways this week and you are always going to struggle on a course like this. I've got to find something on the weekend and shoot a couple of good rounds and see what happens. Rory is well ahead but you keep fighting and see what you can do. I had a good run on the front nine and was three under. I hit a good shot into 10 and good putt on 11 and then four over for the last seven. They killed me again. The back nine is long so if you miss the fairway you can't get to the green as much.

"Rory is very impressive. He's playing great. It's nice to see a player in total control. It doesn't happen too often. I had it in the first round at Wentworth and he is finding it. It's never easy to lead from the front but he is playing well and I hope he keeps playing well."
