“It’s between rounds that golf is hard."

Bruce Young quotes Geoff Ogilvy following a 67 and heading into the Australian Open final Sunday, where he holds a five stroke lead over Matt Jones.

On overcoming a bogey finish to the round:

Ogilvy was happy with the day despite the final hole bogey. “It is never nice to finish like that whatever you are shooting. I am well over it now though. I rushed to the range as we saw some rain coming to hit a bucket of balls. Normally I would not rush to the range in a left to right wind but whilst the feeling of that shot was in my head I wanted to get it out of my head. I hit a 20 or 30 nice ones and it is gone."

It must be nice!

When it was suggested earlier by Greg Chalmers that there was little likelihood of him going backwards tomorrow Ogilvy responded, “Hopefully not – if I play like I did today then I don’t think I will but golf is a funny game and if it is wet like it is right now (rain arrived at close of play today) then you never know what is going to happen. Obviously I am in a decent position after three rounds and if I can do it again tomorrow then I will be alright by the end hopefully.

“It’s between rounds that golf is hard,” he said responding to the question as to how much he will think about tomorrow. “I am sure I will think about it a couple of times. It would be abnormal to stop yourself thinking about it but I am sure I will sleep ok tonight.”
