Quick Quotes

Q. How do you assess the week?

Q. You had to feel pretty good coming in.

PHIL MICKELSON: Yeah, I've been playing good golf this year, and so I'm disappointed with my score this week.

But I've been playing some good golf. I'll get back at it here soon.

Q. Not to imply anything, but does it feel like a golf course that you can still contend at, maybe even win?

PHIL MICKELSON: It felt like this was a good week, a good opportunity for me, and unfortunately I didn't score. It's disappointing because I felt I was playing well enough to at least be in the hunt.
