Quick Quotes

Q. Talk about your thoughts on the day?

JUSTIN LEONARD: Yeah, it wasn't quite as sharp as I was the last couple days. You know, just not able to really hit it close enough to putt pressure. I felt like if I could have been 3- or 4-under on the front nine, then, you know, we're kind of neck and neck.

Happy with the way I played through the week. Would like to have been a little bit sharper today. Just a couple opportunities I didn't take advantage of. Played a lot of golf these last couple weeks, and long practise rounds and all that. I'm happy with the week. Would love to have done better today but still it's a great week.

Q. You told us you made changes to your swing. They seemed to stand up pretty well.

JUSTIN LEONARD: Yeah, I take a lot of good things from this last couple weeks. You know, last week I was able to spend a couple days with Mike Thomas and just little mind things and trying to get a little more rotation in the clubface and stuff like that. Still plenty of things to work on but having a week like this where I hit it so consistently and hit it really good off the tee. You know, I'm excited about what's coming up here the rest of the year.

Q. First time you played heathland golf in a Senior Open Championship over here. Have you fallen in love with Sunningdale?

JUSTIN LEONARD: Yeah. How could you not? It's a beautiful place. And then the golf course, as we talked about earlier in the week, it's just a great balance of there's a lot of strategy to the short holes. Great options and then the long holes, you know, you feel them. So it's just a great test, great condition. So cool that this club hosts this tournament. I hope they will more often.
