Quick Quotes

Q. Talk about the conditions today compared to the last two days out there.

JOEL DAHMEN: I knew it was going to be hard. I didn't know it was going to be that hard. The wind flipped, made some of the easy holes really hard, and the first four holes were brutal. Then the back, a lot of those hard holes got a little bit easier, as well. I wouldn't say it was a wash. It was way harder today. But it was a true U.S. Open setup, that's for sure.

Q. By no means out of this tournament; you're just three back headed into tomorrow morning. What's the game plan tonight and early tomorrow morning going into that final round?

JOEL DAHMEN: Yeah, if you'd told me on Thursday morning I'd only be three back coming into Sunday of a U.S. Open -- you don't have to do a whole lot. You shoot a couple under -- it's easier said than done, but I mean, I'm right there. I wish I would have got off to a little better start today, but played really well. My putter just wasn't great, and I didn't chip it very well.

I like where my game is at. I felt comfortable out there. Maybe I can sneak up behind them tomorrow.

Q. Flawless back nine today; you played really well, nine pars. What can you take from that nine and apply to tomorrow?

JOEL DAHMEN: Yeah, actually I drove it well today and hit my long irons -- hit my wedges poor that led to a couple bogeys and a couple three-putts in there, but I'm comfortable. My game is right there. I've proven I can hang with these guys. You know, if I get off to a good start tomorrow, it's going to be really fun. That's the goal tomorrow.
