Trying to go out and execute really good gold shots and if it's enough tomorrow it's enough."The plan we got right, I just didn't quite hit a couple of my targets that I would have liked but for the most part I played really, really solid golf.

My game's in good shape. Just one more day..."I know it would mean a lot but I'm trying not to get too ahead of myself or think of things like that, so it's just another day on the golf tomorrow.

Me and [caddy] Dermot [Byrne] will enjoy the walk and whatever will be, will be." More to follow... FULL LEADERBOARD
