Quick Quotes

Q. Just talk about your round and getting yourself back in great position.

DANIEL BERGER: Yeah, it's been a long two months. I haven't played that much golf. Been dealing with some health stuff. It's nice to get back and get a couple rounds under my belt and get going in a positive direction.

Q. What was it today? What worked for you today?

DANIEL BERGER: I made a lot of putts on the front nine and then had a bunch of really good looks on the back nine and hit some good putts that didn't go in, but the first couple days I hit a lot of good putts.

Just they were all for par, and today I had some birdie putts, and that was the difference.

Q. What was ailing you the last --

DANIEL BERGER: I've just had a lower back problem that's been bothering me for a little while. Definitely not 100 percent but good enough to play.

Q. When you have played -- you've played since THE PLAYERS where you played pretty well. Since then what has it forced you -- prevented you from doing?

DANIEL BERGER: Well, I don't get to practice so that's a tough part when you don't get to practice and then you show up to a tournament.

Then I took a month off where I didn't play golf after Hilton Head. So I showed up to the PGA, didn't play a single round in the time from Hilton Head to PGA, and my game showed when I showed up to PGA.

But yeah, I've got to play seven or eight consecutive rounds in a row, and just kind of building some momentum and getting back to where I was before that.

Q. Is this the same issue from in February before --

DANIEL BERGER: It is, yeah. I probably shouldn't have played as much as I did after that and I just kind of kept going and it got worse. But I'm definitely trending in the right direction.
