Quick Quotes

Q. Corey, 65 today. Got on a little hot streak in the middle of your round. Can you talk us through that?

COREY CONNERS: Yeah, it was good. Not the best start, but, yeah, got hot there around the turn. Hit some really quality shots. Was able to make a run the birdies, which was nice, and get the round going.

Q. Did something click for you?

COREY CONNERS: Been hitting the ball really well all week. Just ended up hitting it a little bit closer on a couple of those and was able to make some putts.

Yeah, really been about the putter. I've given myself a lot of quality birdie chances this week. Just haven't been able to get them to go. Tricky on these greens with the wind and subtleties to them.

Yeah, was able to get a few of those to go and that always feels better.

Q. On the note of wind can you speak the conditions today?

COREY CONNERS: Yeah, got pretty similar to yesterday afternoon when I was playing, so yeah, can't really be comfortable out there, but was familiar enough.

Yeah, I like when it's windy here. I think it really puts a premium on the ball striking. You really got control your ball. Was able to hit a lot of good shots.

It's definitely playing quite trick. The course is continuing to firm up, and hopefully stays windy and get another tricky day tomorrow.

Q. What's the mindset going into tomorrow?

COREY CONNERS: Yeah, see where I stand at the end of the day. I think I'll need another low one tomorrow. Been trending in the right direction so far this week, getting a little better each day, and look forward to a fun challenge.
