"I'm in a great position, leading going into the weekend, but I feel like I could have been a few more ahead.

"I tried to approach this week not with low expectations, but just to see how it went, take each day as it came and through the first two days I'm in a good position.

"My body feels good, which is the most important thing I think, and if I can continue to play the way I have I've got a great chance this week."
