Quick Quotes

Q. Kevin, 69 today. Just to start, how good did it feel to birdie the last hole?

KEVIN ROY: Yeah, felt really. I did not leave myself in a good position there. Luckily had a pretty good lie and to try to get a little cute with it, and came out perfect when I hit it.

Certainly wasn't expecting to hit it to a tap-in. That kind of shot was just trying to give myself a good birdie opportunity. Yeah, it came out perfect.

Q. How would you assess the round as a whole?

KEVIN ROY: Yeah, a little bit better. I felt really good out there. You know, drove it fairly well. I don't really know my stats of hitting the greens. I know I had a couple good up and downs.

Yeah, it's hard. Wind feels like it's coming in every direction and a lot of shots into the greens are kind of a guess. Yeah, all in all I think it was pretty good.

Q. Do you watch leaderboards on a day like today?

KEVIN ROY: A little bit. Not really to be honest with you. You know, I know it's hard to take it deep right now with the wind and the course is kind of firming up.

So I checked it a few times, but not a ton.

Q. And lastly, just feeling good about everything going into tomorrow?

KEVIN ROY: Yeah, feel real good. I'm in a position where I really got nothing to lose, so just go out there and stick to our game plan and see where we stack up at the end.
