Quick Quotes

Q. The feeling of leading a major, finishing top five, there's positives here?

JHONATTAN VEGAS: Lots of positives. Obviously my best finish in a major is always incredibly positive. A lot of positives to take from this week. My game was there.

Body didn't quite hold up at the end when I needed it but you know, even month-to-month feeling great, finishing somewhere around the top 5 is always something extremely to be proud of.

Q. How exhaustive is it to be in contention in a major, mentally and physically?

JHONATTAN VEGAS: It's more mentally than physically, right. Mentally it just drains you from the beginning.

Obviously my week was a little bit tougher week, finishing very late on Thursday, having to come back early on Friday, having the lead, having to play with the lead on Friday, being around with the lead on Saturday, and obviously trying to chase today. It just drains you, right.

But that's kind of what we do, right. That's kind of what we prepare for and that's what we spend all that time in the gym and we have the practice here for these type of moments. Just proud of a good week.

Q. Outlook for the rest of the season?

JHONATTAN VEGAS: Same thing. Keep doing the work. Obviously this was a good booster for the confidence to know that I can put myself in contention for the majors and hopefully win one. So you know, just keep working, keep getting better and praying for the best.
