\u201cI feel I\u2019ve planned my rounds well so far by sticking to my game plan. I\u2019ve hit good tee shots and given myself a lot of chances on the greens. Today I also hit my approach well. The focus will be on repeating the same things and sticking to the basics in the last round.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
