Quick Quotes

Q. Hank, 6-under 65, but there was a couple of highlights in there. Can you talk us through the two par-4s that you made eagles on?

HANK LEBIODA: Yeah, I was telling my playing partners that you try to hit it to the distance that you want, to that number. It was a special day. Not often you get one eagle, let alone two.

So I was very fortunate to have that chip-in on 14 and then a great number for a full wedge on No. 2.

Q. Both being par-4s is really rare. Has that ever happened to you before or come close?

HANK LEBIODA: I can't remember, to be honest with you, but I'll take them when I can get them.

Q. Not only the two 2s on the par-4s, but you had a stretch there in four holes there were three 2s. That's pretty rare as well.

HANK LEBIODA: Yeah, Brice Garnett reminded me I had four 2s in seven holes. So it doesn't happen often.

I've been playing the par-3 so well this whole year. Kind of a running bit with my coach and I that he looks at my card, and he always checks how many par-3s I have left to see how many birdies I can make coming in.

Yeah, it was a special day. Glad I got them when I could.

Q. You just mentioned Brice, one of your playing partners. Is there always a little banter like that when something special happens? That's a really unusual situation, but they obviously recognize it as well.

HANK LEBIODA: Just with Brice. I think it might be specific to the individual.
