From the papers
The Independent (Mark Garrod)
31 July 2000
I bet there are other guys who made more birdies than me, but my main goal was not to make a bogey.
BBC Sport
30 July 2000
I had total belief in my swing and I was really on mentally, which I've not been for the last six or eight months.
BBC Sport
30 July 2000
One or two wild drives cost me, but Stephen was always three or four in front of me and it was a pretty comfortable margin.
