Quick Quotes

Q. Third round all done, how are you feeling?

BRIAN CAMPBELL: You know, a little defeated. Didn't have the best stuff out there. But held it together. Midway found a few things, made a few birdies at least. Just looking forward to tomorrow.

Q. What's kind of the strategy for tomorrow?

BRIAN CAMPBELL: Strategy is exactly the same. No need to change anything. I think just stay more committed to certain lines and trust your lines on your reads on the green.

Q. What does it mean to you to make the cut at Augusta National?

BRIAN CAMPBELL: Oh, one for one, I'll take it. First time here to make the cut, I'm hitting putts, I'm hitting shots that I have no idea what they're doing. Like a lot of the putts I'm hitting are the first time I'm ever seeing them, so I'm proud of how I've handled that part of it.

But yeah, to make the cut has been amazing.

But I think you set your sights on higher objectives than the cut line, and it makes making the cut line a little easier, I think.

Q. I know he asked you this maybe Monday or Tuesday, but earlier in the week you had your friends out here. How great is it to have that support from your friends your first time playing here?

BRIAN CAMPBELL: Yeah, it's great. I wish I could bring all my friends and family back home out here, but to have a big group of people come out to support has just been amazing.

Q. That chip on 18, you got relief, right?

BRIAN CAMPBELL: Yeah, sprinkler head or drainage relief.

Q. And you almost holed it out?

BRIAN CAMPBELL: Would have been nice, yeah.

Q. What were you feeling as that ball was rolling and you chipped in and you could feel everyone --

BRIAN CAMPBELL: I was thinking, how is that ball not going right? That's what I was thinking.

Q. You look up at a day like this, some of the best golfers of all time up on that leaderboard and you're there, too, how does that feel to see those names along with yours?

BRIAN CAMPBELL: It feels great. I'd certainly love to be in the red numbers, but to even be on the same stage as those guys I think speaks a lot to where I've come from, my game and where I'm at now.

Q. What do you think your biggest takeaway was from today?

BRIAN CAMPBELL: Learning from today is you can't force it. You really got to stick to your game plan. You've got to stick to the lines off your tees and trust yourself on the greens.

It's so hard to trust some of the lines you're taking on these putts. But you've just got to believe in it.

Q. I know you're focused on this week, but are you playing next week at RBC Heritage?

BRIAN CAMPBELL: Yep.

Q. Did your Mexico Open win qualify you for the PGA Championship?

BRIAN CAMPBELL: Yeah, I'll be in that one, too.
