Quick Quotes

Q. Obviously another solid round from you today. What was working for you out there?

NICK TAYLOR: Those first 10, 12 holes, everything was really, really solid. I was hitting fairways, hitting greens. The wedges were nice and close today, so I was taking advantage and making those putts.

Honestly the first 10 holes all of us were playing so great, just kind of feeding off each other, had a good mojo. The long, tough par-4s are on the back nine, so you know you're going to have less chances probably those last six, seven holes.

Hung in there, and making a birdie on the last was important to end the day nicely.

Q. Obviously the weather improved today, which means more fans, louder. How much does that help an all-Canadian trio?

NICK TAYLOR: The fans are phenomenal. The ovation on the 1st hole alone, we had the National Anthem, it felt like, almost every tee box. It was fun. The Rink Hole was buzzing. It was a fun day.

Q. With the weather, it's supposed to be really nice tomorrow, no rain, firming up a little bit. Do you anticipate a shootout on the weekend, or do you anticipate like par is still a pretty good score on most of these holes?

NICK TAYLOR: I think somewhere in the middle. Par, I don't think, will do it, but it's not going to be as many birdies as these two days.

The greens I can't see getting way, way firmer, but with the fairways getting firmer, it's going to be a challenge to hit a bunch of fairways. That will be important. If you hit a bunch of fairways, you're going to have wedges in a lot those first 12 holes and try to take advantage of that. If you're missing fairways, it's tough to hit it close. That's going to be definitely an important key for the weekend.
