TV Quick Quotes

Q. Tom, congratulations on going 2-0 in your first year playing in this format. How aware were you of how close all those matches were today?

TOM McKIBBIN: Yeah, pretty aware. There's a lot of leaderboards out there. You can sort of see how all the matches are going, and they all seemed very tight at one point. It was a little bit stressful coming in, but it was nice to get the win.

Q. Now, tomorrow's stroke play. It's a very different format, a very different mindset. Are you going to feel the pressure tomorrow? How are you going to be handling it?

TOM McKIBBIN: It's no different tomorrow than any other week really. It's stroke play. I think the weird thing will be you sort of just played half -- for me personally, only sort of played half the course, hitting every other shot.

So I think maybe not being as familiar with some of the tee shots or not hitting as many will be a little strange. Hopefully can go out tomorrow and have a nice day.

Q. Strategy-wise, are you just going to play completely different to what you did today, or are you going to maybe play a little bit more aggressive?

TOM McKIBBIN: I think fairly similar. I think there's such a big advantage of hitting the fairways. The rough's very penal. Just trying to keep it in the short stuff and hit good shots into the greens is really all you can do.
