Quick Quotes

Q. Unfortunate withdrawal, can you just explain what the problem is?

VIKTOR HOVLAND: Yeah, I warmed up on the range, felt great. I was just going to hit a little bit last couple drivers before I was going to go to the first tee, and hit one shot and then felt a little bit in my neck, but it didn't, it felt fine, didn't feel hardly anything at all, just felt like something was maybe brewing.

Then the next shot that I hit with a driver it just felt like, yeah, it just cracked. I don't know exactly what happened, but there's something that happened and just couldn't move.

Q. Did you, after that happened, did you get any treatment before you went to the first tee?

VIKTOR HOVLAND: I got someone to look at it or do a little bit, but I had five minutes before I was on the tee. There was really nothing we could do. So, tried to play, but just wasn't doable.

Q. Was there any particular shot that really out there that sort of --

VIKTOR HOVLAND: No, it was just moving around. I could hardly just stand over the ball and move my neck. Couldn't really do anything.
