Quick Quotes

Q. Jackson, took maybe longer than some people expected, but a 2 and 1 win. How do you feel?

JACKSON KOIVUN: I feel pretty good. Happy to have a tee time tomorrow. I've got to work on some things this afternoon. Just looking forward to tomorrow.

Q. What went wrong, what went right today, would you say?

JACKSON KOIVUN: Just kept my ball in play pretty well, hit a lot of greens. Definitely could have hit it a little closer and been a little smarter with some shots I had here and there, but just kind of a lot of fairways and greens and made a lot of pars. That can work out here.

Q. Can you talk a little bit about Ryan, just kind of how he played? Anything you can say about him.

JACKSON KOIVUN: He's a great player, great competitor. We had a really, really good match going. He definitely kept bouncing back here and there. Just happy I was able to get it done on 17 and not go to 18.

Q. You're probably one of the most recognizable names in the field. Got a really hot start at the U.S. Open and then last two PGA TOUR events, top 10s. What do you learn from that that you can bring into this week?

JACKSON KOIVUN: There's so much to learn out there and so much I can apply to my golf game here. Just practice habits, shots, what to hit, that type of stuff, just taking all that knowledge I've been taking in and just putting it here. It's definitely going to be helpful.

Q. What, if anything, are you going to change for tomorrow?

JACKSON KOIVUN: Just try to play a little more aggressive, try to play my game. Maybe just don't play as soft or away from the flag.
