Quick Quotes

Q. That's an amazing round of golf out there today, a 63. Try to describe that round if you can.

ANGEL HIDALGO: Well, I can't. I really feel for a few moments I was playing in the Playstation, to be honest. Every single shot was directly to the pin. Even the one I missed, it was directly to the pin, like the 13 one I go over, but it was straight to the pin.

So happy. Not going to lie, really, really happy. Obviously now you remember the 16th, but you need to remember the few recoveries I did. The one on 17 was pretty important, and obviously the birdie on 18 to finish with good feelings obviously for tomorrow.

We know it's not easy playing a round after this type of round, but we'll try to fight as we know, and we'll see what happens.

Q. You said it felt like Playstation out there. In that run of birdies in the middle of the front nine, are you thinking anything at all as you were playing?

ANGEL HIDALGO: Just try to attack. I was feeling since the shot on hole No. 3 -- I hit a perfect shot -- I feel like, okay, I'm feeling like in control with the swing. I feel smooth. So I say to my caddie, okay, it's a moment to throw the coin and see if we can go really low.

What happens when you try that, like on 9 you try to smash a driver and miss left, and then on 16, but obviously really happy and can't wait to play tomorrow.

Q. Ask you about that tee shot on 18. You love a recoil, and that was like a triple recoil.

ANGEL HIDALGO: I know, I feel it. My caddie just asked me like we don't need to hit hard, we just need to put it in the fairway. I don't know why I smash it. When I feel that recoil and I saw it come out there, I said, okay, this will be pretty fun to recoil on the TV.

Likely I put there because I hit pretty good and I had a hybrid for that pin. So if I hit maybe more left, I need to hit 5-wood, and after the one on 16, was not the easiest club to hit.

Yeah, really happy with the birdie on the last to take a great round.
