Quick Quotes

Q. Looks like you had a great day today. I think six birdies, if that's correct.

MARK MULDER: I think, yeah, it was six with a bogey. I threw in a bogey on 17. Not sure how that happened, but it does. That's the way it goes. I at least got it going.

Last couple days have been a struggle, so today was a lot better. Nice to see some balls actually go in the hole. Hit some shots where I was trying to hit them, so it was moving in the right direction.

But it's still a long ways back. It was nice to at least get back into it.

Q. And it was raining off and on today. How are the course conditions?

MARK MULDER: Course was awesome. My rain gear, my umbrella, is all doing great in my hotel room. I did not think it was supposed to rain at all. I brought it but I didn't think about putting it in the bag so I didn't have it. My brother who is caddying for me, we just wore it all day.

But, you know, it must have worked. So I played well. The conditions are what they are. There is nothing you can do about that. Hopefully tomorrow go out and have another good day.

Q. Talk about tomorrow a little bit. Obviously you've won this event, and just how you feel going into the final round.

MARK MULDER: Well, I haven't seen a scoreboard so I don't know where Mardy is at. I'm sure after the first two days I'm still quite a few points back.

With this scoring system, with no minus points, it's kind of hard to catch somebody when they're playing well. I would assume even with my getting 40 or 41, whatever I had, I would assume I would have to be 10 to 15 behind Mardy tomorrow.

So there is no catching him as good as he's playing. But second, third, fourth, whatever it might be, hopefully I can go out and put up a big number and see what happens.
