Quick Quotes

Q. 7-under 64, nice round. If we can get some comments.

TRACE CROWE: Appreciate it, yeah. Just got off to a good start birdieing 1 and 2 and kind of just rode that momentum the rest of the day. Then kind of slowed up there on the back nine, had a three-putt on 15 from about eight feet but a nice bounce-back birdie on 16, and then getting one on 18 capped off a good day.

Q. Five birdies in your first seven holes. Which of those really stand out?

TRACE CROWE: You know, just the first hole really. Hit a good drive there and then knock it about three feet. That one stands out. Just a nice way to start your day.

Q. Third place right now so a big Sunday ahead of you tomorrow. What will your game plan and mindset be?

TRACE CROWE: Yeah, the mindset is I've gotten one shot better every day, so if I go out there and shoot one better tomorrow, we should be in a good spot. Just got to make birdies. The guys in front are going to keep doing that, so the game plan is just to play aggressive and see what happens.

Q. Speaking of improving each day, each tournament, you're improving here of late; T38 at Wyndham, T24 in Asheville, and now another good week. Talk a little bit about the state of your game.

TRACE CROWE: Yeah, no, the last few weeks I've been hitting it really nice. Struggled with the putter at Wyndham. I was a little bit better at Asheville. Then this week just making some putts, and that just puts you up there if you're hitting it nice.
