You look at the guys behind me like Retief Goosen, they can score really low and I've still got 36 holes left ... I'll keep doing what I'm doing and trusting my swing and if I'm in a position to win on Sunday then so be it. Otherwise, hopefully I'll get a top three or four finish.

I know every player here is looking forward to this new venue for the Volvo Golf Champions. I hope they really enjoy it this week, because I’d like to see this tournament stay in South Africa. This is Volvo’s 125th men’s professional tournament they’ve sponsored. They’ve been a great sponsor for such a ...
South Africa have had some great results in recent years at the World Cup with Ernie Els and Retief Goosen winning in 2001 while Trevor Immelman and Rory Sabbatini won in 2003.
On 18, the wind is perfect for the hole and I hit a good drive, a 60 degree wedge and it was nice to nail the putt for a place in the final group tomorrow
It was a disappointing finish. It could've been one of those rounds of nine or 10 under ... But I'll take 6 under at the SA Open. It's where you want to be.
I'll take six-under at the SA Open. It won't be leading today, but it will probably be there two shots off the lead
I probably should have gone for the green at eight ... It was a bit of a poor finish, but I got lucky on the last.
In 2005, not many of us finished under par. But this course won't be like the Links - if you missed a fairway there, it was a lost ball, but here you can still find it. I like to see the toughest test in the SA Open, but it's quite wide off the tee and there's not much rough around, so probably somewher...
Me and Ernie love the SA Open, it's one of the oldest tournaments in the world, one of our favourites. He's won it five times so I've got some ground to make up and hopefully we can have a good battle again like we did last year
I think it's going to be a long-hitter's course. The guys who hit it a long way will do well this week. It's fairly wide off the tee and if their second shots are with medium and short irons, it's going to be easier for them to get on the right side of the flags
I think it's quite generous off the tee, so they made up for it on the greens and around the greens. It's quite tricky, there are a lot of run-off areas and slopes. If you're on the wrong side of the flag, you could have some interesting putts
Ernie and I have had an interesting rivalry in the South African Open over the years. It's something I'm particularly proud of, that we can produce our best golf against each other in our national Open
