Here we round up some of the interesting and unusual things that have been said today by interviewers and interviewees in press conferences and on-course interviews here at Muirfield.
Miguel Angel Jimenez explains the objective of golf in layman's terms:
"One-under par is good. More under par is more good. Three-under par is nice."
The veteran Spaniard talks about his recent skiing injury, and the dangers of the winter sport, in the language of a matador:
"You cannot become distracted for anything because the bull can take you."
Jimenez on memory loss (perhaps, one too many red wines last night:)
"I don't know who I played with today."
A questioner fails to get his facts right talking to Rafael Cabrera Bello:
Q - "I'm right in thinking you're a former Amateur champion?
Rafa - "No."
Cabrera-Bello is asked to compare himself to fellow Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez:
"I look a little different to Miguel. Not saying I look better, I'm just saying different... I don't smoke, I am younger, I like to do sports... I have a more athletic body... I'm from a different generation."
So, not very similar then
For some reason the Spaniard is asked about his choice of hairstyle:
"I've tried to grow my hair a little bit, but it completely defies the laws of gravity."
China's Ashun Wu after an opening 76:
"I have to practice more."
