Quick Quotes

Q. How were the conditions today compared to the last few days out there?

ALEX FITZPATRICK: I mean, I felt like we did get very lucky with the draw, well, today. I know the guys at the start of the day had it horrific. It was nice to finally be on the right side of something.

But, yeah, it was tough as ever. I think the hardest bit for me, the greens. I think the greens are really tricky. There's been a lot of play on them. You know, I feel bad for the greenskeepers, because they've got to keep watering them to make sure they don't get out of hand.

So they've become a little soft, a little bumpy, and that just makes it really hard to putt on.

Q. Heading into tomorrow, any specific game plans going forward?

ALEX FITZPATRICK: Just same as what it has been the past couple of days. Find the fairways and middle of the greens and try and two-putt and get out of there. Nothing special, but yeah, that's the goal.

Q. Then, lastly, what kind of has it meant to you, some emotions with you and your brother both making it to the weekend, and how are you feeling about that?

ALEX FITZPATRICK: Yeah, it's super cool. It's nice for my parents. They have two goes at the trophy.

Yeah, you know, it's amazing to have someone else out here with me. Well, me out here with him, because he's been doing it longer. But, yeah, it's super special. Hopefully it can last a long time.
