Tiger Woods (65 - 132): "I'm not here with the jug. We've got 36 more holes to go. Unless there's some kind of a rain storm coming in and it's cancelled after two days we have a long way to go."

Ernie Els (65 - 133): "I was just trying to play the way I play Wentworth. I felt quite comfortable with my swing and I just tried to put the ball in play but when the opportunity presented itself I tried to be aggressive."

Chris Di Marco (65 - 135): "Tiger at his best is hard to beat. Tiger on a course he likes at his best is really hard to beat."

Mikko Ilonen (69 - 137): "It's great to be here at the weekend because that was my goal in the first place. I'm not thinking about whether I will win or finish 50th."

Miguel Angel Jimenez (70 - 137): "Of course you have to be a little bit disappointed when you get to nine under then let it slip."

Robert Rock (69 - 138): "I didn't see my name on the leaderboard for the first time until the 17th, which was quite a good thing."

Thaworn Wiratchant (68 - 139): "Going out very early in the morning meant I could play my own game. I could hit the ball where I wanted to put it and not worry about the conditions."

Graeme McDowell (73 - 139): "I thought I performed pretty well today considering the circumstances. I was three or four putts short of getting myself into a really good position."

Greg Owen (73 - 140): "There are two rounds left yet. If I'd have gone out this morning I could have shot another 67 and be right up there."

Luke Donald (68 - 142): "This is the tournament I want to win the most and the harder you try the worse you do, that's how golf is, and I definitely got caught doing that yesterday."
