Quick Quotes

Q. You really had it cooking out there. Can you just talk us through your round, what you were feeling?

WYNDHAM CLARK: Obviously getting off to a great start. Birdieing the first two was really nice. Then I kind of had a little bit of a lull, but made some great par saves. It was great birdieing 18.

Then a little mishap, missed a shorty on 1 and then a bogey on 2, but then got into a nice rhythm. Yeah, everything was kind of clicking. We were definitely fortunate with the wind laying down. Overall a good round.

Q. Did you have any inclination that the wind would die down like that and you would get a bit lucky in this draw?

WYNDHAM CLARK: No, I would say when I got my tee times on Tuesday, I was like, oh, could be a tough draw. That two-hour fog delay was very helpful, and it was really nice it laid down. So it definitely helped those last six, seven holes we played.

Q. What's the plan for tonight? How do you just turn around and turn it back on for tomorrow morning?

WYNDHAM CLARK: Yeah, I mean, eat as fast as possible, sleep as hard as possible, and get out here and hopefully keep playing good.
