Quick Quotes

ADAM SCOTT: ... first and then had kind of a sloppy three-putt. But I was in the fairway again, and that's made life easy for me this week. It's not that easy, but it certainly feels like it's been relatively stress-free.

Q. You've talked so much about how the majors, how much they mean to you at this stage of your career. Can you allow yourself to wander, your mind to wander as to what it would mean to you to win tomorrow?

ADAM SCOTT: Yeah, it would be super fulfilling. Everyone out here has got their journey, you know. Putting ourselves in these positions doesn't just happen by fluke. It's not easy to do it. I really haven't been in this kind of position for five or six years, or feeling like I'm that player. But that's what I'm always working towards. It's not that easy to figure it all out.

But if I were to come away with it tomorrow, it would be a hell of a round of golf and an exclamation point on my career.

Q. How do you feel right now having done what you've done so far?

ADAM SCOTT: Well, I'm playing good, so there's no reason not to. I'm playing from the fairway a lot. I've played fairly conservative, and I haven't really been forcing the issue much. Could be a different story tomorrow. A lot can happen in 18 holes out here. But I like what I've done so far.

Q. You've been asked about the conditions every day; how was it today compared to --

ADAM SCOTT: Well, it was like a readjustment out there today. Obviously it was softer, and controlling spin to some pins was very difficult. But I just tried not to force anything. I played safe shots and accepted I wasn't going to finish next to the hole when it wasn't dialed in, like on 18 I had not a really good number and I had to throw it out to the right -- I had a terrible shot, but I hit it out to the right just not to miss it left, and I think I've managed it well.

Q. You've played here before in 2007 and 2016. Do you still have your yardage books from those years?

ADAM SCOTT: I don't know about the yardage books, but I would say I was less overwhelmed coming to Oakmont this time, and that's not a knock on the golf course, but maybe just a couple trips around the U.S. Open here, I knew what to expect.
