Q. Can you just tell me a little bit about how you assess your play so far and your position going into the weekend? It looks like you are just going to be just one back?

GEORGE MCNEILL: Yes, I played pretty well the first two days and then actually today I struggled a little bit. The swing didn't feel as near as good for whatever reason. I really haven't had a chance to practice after any rounds because we've been basically playing until dark or until we get called off the course. You can't practice. But all in all I feel pretty good with the way I get about and scoring I guess.

Q. Going into Sunday have you been in contention this year?

GEORGE MCNEILL: This year, Puerto Rico, I was kind of in contention. 5th. Actually in New Orleans as well, I finished I think tied 6th. But I was pretty close most of the day.

Q. What kind of mindset do you have going into tomorrow by the time you start tomorrow there will be guys going up the leaderboard? Do you go into it thinking any differently than you would?

GEORGE MCNEILL: Not necessarily because that's this golf course, the way it's playing right now. It's soft and guys are shooting low scores so you got to expect that. So I don't plan on doing any different other than maybe playing a little better on my first nine.

Q. With the rain, how are the greens holding up?

GEORGE MCNEILL: The greens are great, they are perfect. They are soft. That's why the scores are so low. With the putting surfaces and putting wise, they are absolutely perfect.
