Quick Quotes

Q. What was the weekend as a whole for you? Talk me through that.

GARY WOODLAND: It was tough. It was tough. I'm happy with the way I played. Yesterday I didn't quite have everything, and I fought and grinded, so I'm really proud of the way I fought yesterday just to hang in there to give myself a chance.

Then today I came out, and it's the best round I've played in a long time. I played beautifully really from start to finish.

I drove it well, iron play, controlled the ball, and putted it great. So it's a great Father's Day and proud of the way I played this week, because this was a tough week, for sure.

Q. You talk about awesome play on this last round here. What are kind of the conditions looking like out there that helped you?

GARY WOODLAND: It's starting to firm up. The last couple of holes there didn't seem like there was a lot of birdie opportunities, so it will be interesting for these guys coming down the last couple of holes.

It's just tough. It's a tough golf course. Conditions were a little softer today with the wind, but the golf course is firming up nicely. It will be a good finish come down the stretch.

Q. Lastly, a little bit about your confidence going into the rest of the season, how do you feel about that?

GARY WOODLAND: Yeah, it was -- I mean, you play like I did this week, today, I can compete anywhere. So I'm proud of where my game is and looking forward to the finish, for sure.
