Quick Quotes

Q. Were you guys 10-under today?

SHUAI MING WONG: 11.

Q. You guys like this course? After yesterday you were even par and you're 20-under on this course. What clicks on this course compared to what you saw yesterday?

SHUAI MING WONG: I think the views. We're all about the views. Both golf courses are 18 holes, but I think everything is just -- we love this golf course. The first time we got here, we talked about it a lot. Like every hole is spectacular. We really just thoroughly enjoy it no matter how we play.

I think we could start from there. That's what makes the separation.

Q. Because your opponents I guess were doing well today, too.

FRANKIE CAPAN: I think they were 5- or 6-under.

Q. I guess in a four-ball situation you've really got to go low. In an individual event 5-under is usually going to win.

FRANKIE CAPAN: I think this course is so unique. Obviously Ben talked about the views, but I think it really brings out the creative side of both of our games. You can kind of work shots into a lot of these pins using the slopes to your advantage, but I think we've done a really good job of that between the first round and this round.

SHUAI MING WONG: I feel like we just put ourselves in a lot of good position a lot of the times to where we had two birdie putts most of the time. That's special when you're playing well and making birdies. I just think it sets up well for our games, and it's just such an enjoyable course to play, it's hard to not hit some good shots out there.

Q. Was it 11 birdies in 14 holes?

SHUAI MING WONG: Yeah, 11 birdies in 14 holes.

Q. How many of those were conceded birdies?

SHUAI MING WONG: Just the last one. Yeah, the last one was conceded.

FRANKIE CAPAN: I think I had an eight-footer for birdie on our last hole, and Ben rolled his birdie putt up to about a foot and then they just said -- I think they conceded Ben's ten, so I think on the scorecard it will probably say 10, but I had like an eight-footer on the last hole, too, which would have been for our 11th birdie. I think other than that, I had a six-footer on 12 that was conceded because they made eagle, but if we're out there --

Q. That's a lot of birdies.

FRANKIE CAPAN: Yeah, if we're losing to eagles with birdies --

Q. Nice easy day, 5 & 4, you get off the golf course and can rest because tomorrow potentially is a long day.

SHUAI MING WONG: Yeah, exactly.
