Quick Quotes

Q. I know this isn't the finish you wanted, but how would you characterize the week?

RORY McILROY: Yeah, it's been a fun week. I think when we went back out after the delay, we felt like we still had a good chance, and we didn't make birdie on 11, and then we bogeyed 13 again for the second time this week.

Yeah, just didn't really have any momentum from when we started back up again, and it was difficult to just sort of get anything. We noticed the greens got pretty fast and pretty firm after the delay, too, so got a little tougher.

Overall it's been a good week. It's always good to team up with this man. We've had fun.

Q. Shane, you certainly looked like you were enjoying yourself. Why do you enjoy playing with him so much?

SHANE LOWRY: Look, it's nice. Obviously we came here -- I was happy Rory came. It was nice to come and try and defend. I think we did a good job for the most part. I think we played all right, just today nothing really happened for us, and then after the delay we just went -- everything that could go wrong did go wrong. I had a great week. I'm happy my man came here this week, and we had a great time, and it was fun.

Q. Rory, it's been a whirlwind few days. How do you reset for the rest of the season?

RORY McILROY: Yeah, I've got to just take a little bit of time here. It's nice to have a week off, and yeah, reset and try to get some practice in. I feel like it's like two practice weeks coming up in a way with next week at home and then Truist, as well, in some ways.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to a couple days off and then sort of kicking the feet up and trying to recharge the batteries a little bit.
