Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Asterisk Talley. Asterisk, another long day today; played 39 holes. Is that the most holes you played in one day?

ASTERISK TALLEY: I think so, yeah. I mean, I don't think I've gone extra holes or anything in matches before like too much to play 39 holes; that was definitely my max today.

Q. Had a lot. You had to stay mentally sharp throughout the entire day with all your matches. How did you do that?

ASTERISK TALLEY: I think the rain delays definitely kind of helped get that little relax in and kind of reset the brain.

But I think it just kind of helped me in my afternoon match just kind of getting that little reset before going out.

And then, you know, I didn't really get a lot of time before going out to my second match, so it was pretty good just to kind of get that mental reset and to be able to stay sharp out there.

Q. Just staying mentally tough today, getting ready for a big day possibly tomorrow, how do you think that will help you going into, again, final round?

ASTERISK TALLEY: Yeah, I think it's definitely going to be a mental test, but I think today was a good warmup for that. But, yeah, just I think it's going to definitely just be whoever is kind of fatigued tomorrow. So I think just kind of staying sharp out there and hopefully keeping the mistakes out of play.
