Q. You must feel you are in good position considering your record the last 6 weeks.
KENNY PERRY: Well, any time you are within two or three of the lead, you are in good shape. You really are. This is the kind of golf course you have to hit golf shots. You have to hit quality shots here to shoot good scores. It's more of a ball striker's golf course and I like that. The rough is kind of nasty. If you hit it in the rough there so you need to hit lots of fairways. I'm driving it good. If I can just get my irons to come to me, just a little bit, where I can get comfortable, be a little more aggressive, and aim at a few more flags, I will have a good shot tomorrow.
Q. So it's mainly the driver and short irons you were working on?
KENNY PERRY: Yes, I had like on 3 today, I had 115 yards to the hole and I hit it 30 feet. 4, I hit it to within 115 of the hole and I missed the green to the right. I loved it way right. Just very uncharacteristic shots I have been hitting.
Q. Now you know how we feel?
KENNY PERRY: (Laughter) pretty interesting out there.
Q. How was the wind out there, swirling, did that have any factor on your club selection?
KENNY PERRY: The only hole I really noticed it on was 16. I thought 16 was a very difficult hole today with the pin placement, the club selection, the wind blowing right-to-left and into you, a very difficult hole.
I hit a very poor shot. I hit it in the right front bunker and made bogey. Other than that, the wind didn't really seem to affect too much. They had the tees up on 13, on the par-5s, so you were able to hit it further down there.
On 15, 17 and 18 I felt all played down and left-to-right. I only had 100 yards to the flag on 18. I drove it over the cart path down there. I only had 100 yards to the hole. The hole played downwind. But all in all I thought the 16th hole was the only hole you had to hit a golf shot to really manage the wind there.
JOEL SCHUCHMANN: Your 2 eagles, if we could go over those, 13 and 15.
KENNY PERRY: A driver, 3-wood to about 20 feet.
And then a 3-wood on 15 to about a foot, foot and a half.
JOEL SCHUCHMANN: You said you had 100 yards and you hit a sand wedge on 18?
KENNY PERRY: Yes, on 18 for birdie. I hit it about four feet right of the hole.
JOEL SCHUCHMANN: Any more questions? Kenny Perry, thank you.
