Quick Quotes

Q. Taylor, 64, nice round of golf. Just get some comments on your final round.

TAYLOR PENDRITH: Yeah, thanks. Drove it really nice today. Hit some really good wedges early and got the putter going. Everything was kind of going today and didn't put myself in too many tricky spots.

So, yeah, first week back, first tournament since the BMW last year, so it's been a long time.

It's nice to come and have a good week.

Q. Sort of one of those what-could've-been this week if it wasn't for the second hole. What is it about that hole this week?

TAYLOR PENDRITH: It's a really hard tee shot. Today was a little easier. Wasn't blowing as hard, but in and off the left there is water left, and, yeah, two days hit the exact same tee ball and made a six the first two days and made a five yesterday and a four today.

So it's really -- if you put it in the fairway it's not that difficult, but it's really tricky the wind.

Q. Had three Canadians up near the top coming into the day. A little extra motivation to get in the mix?

TAYLOR PENDRITH: Yeah. Obviously Nick has a great history here and Corey has some really good weeks here. It's a golf course that I really like. I've played well here before. Put four good rounds together couple years ago and last year I was close, too. I think I had a bad Saturday.

It's a fun golf course. Suits my game. If you drive it in the fairways it's very scorable and if you're a little bit off it can be a long day.

Q. What's your schedule look like over the next few weeks?

TAYLOR PENDRITH: Going to play Amex next week, Torrey Pines the following week, back to Florida, pick the family up, just had a new baby, and we'll be back in Pebble.
