Quick Quotes

Q. Shane, how would you characterize this round today?

SHANE LOWRY: It was pretty good. I woke up this morning, I couldn't believe it was Thursday already. It was one of those I felt like the Masters was only yesterday, and I felt quite tired.

But I get out there and I get after it, and I had a nice group with Jordan and Justin, and there were some nice crowds out there. It was kind of you feed off that and feed off the energy out there, and it was nice to get out there and shoot a good score.

Q. You talked about the Masters seemed like it just ended yesterday. You're staying with the Fleetwoods this week. How have you been able to recharge your batteries after such a successful Masters?

SHANE LOWRY: Yeah, I didn't do much Tuesday. I didn't do anything Monday. I played nine holes with Tommy on Tuesday afternoon and played nine hole Pro-Am yesterday. It's been pretty chill, pretty easy. Been spending a lot of time at the house just hanging out and taking it easy.

Yeah, I'm happy with my score today. I've got like close to 24 hours off now, so just go back and get ready to do the same thing tomorrow.

Q. You seem to really like this place. A couple of top tens in the last three starts here. Why is it that this course seems to really fit your eye?

SHANE LOWRY: The way the course is set up, I like keeping the ball down under the trees. I think it kind of suits that. You need to kind of flight it around here, and that's what I do well, keeping it down out of the wind.

Even though you're in the trees and you can't really feel it, there's a lot of wind up there. You just need to be in control of your ball, and I've done that really well today. I just love coming here.

To be honest, it's more so the time of year. It's obviously a beautiful place and it's a nice course and all, but the week after the Masters, last week is so stressful, and everybody has their families here, and it feels almost like a semi-holiday and you just go and play a bit of golf as well.

Q. Your play this year has been really consistent and you've been in the mix a lot. How do you feel about your game right now? Obviously now we're in the major part of the season.

SHANE LOWRY: Yeah, it's pretty good. I felt like I was looking out the window at the Honda, and I've played pretty good since that. Obviously had a good week last week at the Masters. I feel like I just need to try and keep knocking on the door. I'd love to get another win soon. I feel like I haven't won for a while.

So I just need to be patient and need to keep going, and hopefully I get the breaks on some Sunday when I need it, and I can win another tournament soon. That's kind of what's just spurring me on is just trying to win. It's so hard to win out here. I'm trying as hard as I can, but I'm trying to be patient as well. It's one of those.

Q. I know it's a fine line to win out here. As you said, it's so hard to win. Do you feel like there's one little thing kind of in a certain week or the way the ball bounces?

SHANE LOWRY: I think you just need to keep putting yourself there. I feel like at the Honda, for example, I feel like I played the golf good enough to win the tournament, but Sepp came and birdied the three out of last five to beat me. On another Sunday he doesn't do that, and I'm standing there with the trophy at the end of the round.

That's how I feel about it. Yeah, like I said, I just need to be patient, just need to keep going.
