QUICK QUOTES FROM:
score. But I have played very good these last two
days, so I feel very good about that.
GREG NORMAN
BILL BRITTON
ROBERT GIBBONS
Q. Going into tomorrow, obviously you
want to play your best and place as high as you
can. Does the idea of repeating as low club
professional, does that ever enter your mind or
is it just kind of play your best and see where
you end up?
BILL BRITTON: Really just play my best
and see where I end up. It was a very nice
distinction last year, the PGA really promotes that,
which is very nice, but I would just like to play my
best and finish as high as I can.
AN INTERVIEW WITH:
GREG NORMAN
Q. Mr. Norman, could I just get your
thoughts on the round real quick?
GREG NORMAN: Well, I got off to a bad
start and that was it. Not much more I could say,
really.
Q. Is all the travel you do outside of
golf, do you think that ever factors in on how
you play on the course?
GREG NORMAN: Not at all. My play
affects how I play on the golf course.

Q. Do you think that you will -- you may
have just answered this question -- but will you
be aware of how the nine other club
professionals in the field are doing before you
go out tomorrow?
BILL BRITTON: No. I'm not aware of
those guys. I hope we all play our best and do our
best. And hopefully creep up that leaderboard a
little bit.

AN INTERVIEW WITH:
Q. How did you feel about your round
today?
BILL BRITTON
Q. So you start out with 75 and you've
gone even par two straight days. That's got to
make you feel good going into the final day.
BILL BRITTON: Yes, the first day I didn't
play very good and yesterday I played very good, I
thought.
I don't know, today I didn't feel like I played
near as good as yesterday, yet I shot the same
ROBERT GIBBONS: I played good. I
made bogey from the middle of the fairway on 11,
double from middle of the fairway on 12, and that
really kind of upset the apple cart. Other than that,
I played very good.
Q. We talked earlier in the week about
kind of expectations for your first Senior PGA

Championship. You make the cut, that's got to
be a thrill for the folks back home and for you?
ROBERT GIBBONS: Yeah, that was a
goal and we did that. I would like to have shot a
little better score today. But it was there, I just, the
situation was a little different than I'm used to.
Q. Well not a bad memory first of all
just for your Saturday pairing.
ROBERT GIBBONS: Yeah, it was very,
you know, you can't dream up playing with Norman
and Irwin on a Saturday game, you know.
Q. Most people you ever played in front
of?
ROBERT GIBBONS: Yeah. I would say.
So I played in the 1989 PGA, that's the only other
TOUR event I played in. But that's been so long
ago this is probably the most.
Q. And how easy or difficult was that to
kind of keep out of your mind? A lot of
people?
ROBERT GIBBONS: Yeah, the first tee
was really kind of tough. But after that I tried to
stay calm and just go through my routine and tried
to hit it in the fairway, tried to hit it on the green.
Q. And also you hung right with them.
ROBERT GIBBONS: Yeah, they didn't
play their best and I had a couple moments myself.
But, yeah, it was good that it wasn't a big
separation of score.
