TV Quick Quotes
Q. Another great round at Valderrama, bogey-free. Conditions were different today with milder winds from a different direction. Did you feel like you could play a little bit more aggressively?
SERGIO GARCIA: Yes, obviously it kind of changed the course a little bit. It made some holes that were playing really tough the first couple of days a little bit easier to drive, like 1 and 2 and things like that. But then it made holes like 7 and 6, 9, a little bit tougher, 11.
I felt like I played pretty well, very consistent. Gave myself a good amount of chances. I made a couple really, really big saves on 6 and 7. I think those two saves were amazing. Then finished the round strong, so I was happy to see that.
Q. I've had the privilege to follow you the last three days, and what I've noticed is that you carry this very calm, peaceful, relaxed demeanor about you. What about this golf course brings more of that side of you out?
SERGIO GARCIA: Well, it does. Obviously I'm working on that, to make sure that I can do that everywhere I go. But this course, obviously being my favorite and just being in front of the Spanish crowds and everything, makes it a little extra nice.
Yeah, it's been fun, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
Q. Finally, it's a stacked leaderboard with a lot of major champions up there, including yourself. What is it going to take tomorrow to cross that line?
SERGIO GARCIA: Well, it's going to take something good. Obviously Tyrrell is playing amazing, and he's 10-under. Looking like 10-under for three rounds. Also Thomas is 8-under.
There's a lot of great players there that they know what they're doing. It's just going to take a really good round, kind of like what I did a couple years ago, in tough conditions. But we'll see what the conditions do because I think it's supposed to be a little bit windy. But we'll see.
