Quick Quotes

Q. That was a bomb of a putt you made on 17. Kind of walk me through it.

MILES RUSSELL: Yeah, kind of took my medicine there on the chip and tried to get it on the green really. Kind of gave myself a look to force him to have to make something. It was a big swing. I think I had a similar putt this morning. Just kind of threw it up there, got the speed right, and it went in.

Q. This was the first match you trailed all week. When you went down, what was the mindset to keep yourself in it? It was kind of rare for you.

MILES RUSSELL: I didn't get off to the best of starts. Actually, I felt like through five, six holes, I felt like I should have been 6 down, but I was only 2 down. I took that as a positive for the way I was playing.

Kind of on 7, I started hitting some good golf shots. Kind of just from there, just hitting good golf shots the rest of the way.

Q. You had a lot of crowd support on both matches. Talk to me about what the crowd does for you.

MILES RUSSELL: The crowd is awesome. It really helps momentum, I feel like, or it can at least. They're awesome. It's a good crowd to have.

Q. After a long day today, how do you get ready for tomorrow?

MILES RUSSELL: I'm ready to go to bed. Going to do a little bit of recovery work and get at it tomorrow.
