From the papers
The Independent (John Oakley)
23 June 1997
I played sensibly today because I knew I had a big lead and did not want to waste it. I was very solid.
The Independent (Norman Dabell)
22 June 1997
If I have a disaster and shoot 85 it will not matter because this is all part of a learning process.
The Independent (John Oakley)
23 June 1997
I hit a terrible shot there and with it being so wet you can't get out of bunkers too well.
