THE TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP

November 3, 2006

Brett Quigley

ATLANTA, GEORGIA: Second Round

Q. Just talk a little bit about your round today. You shot yourself back into contention for the tournament.

BRETT QUIGLEY: It's funny, I actually drove it actually a lot better today and hit my irons horribly. I managed to get up and down really well today. To go around this place without a bogey is pretty strong.

Q. With the field here being so strong, does it have the feel of a major with just a few guys under par?

BRETT QUIGLEY: Absolutely. Starting the week I thought 2 under today would be a pretty good score. I didn't see anyone getting to double digits. I don't know what the wind will do the next couple days, but this golf course is so demanding.

It's just a good, fair golf course, but if you're off a little bit it's certainly going to get you. It does feel like a major.

Q. At the halfway mark you have to real really good.

BRETT QUIGLEY: Under par, yes. And if I go under par the next two days I'll be feeling pretty good.

Q. A lot of guys are tapped out at this point in the season. How do you keep that from happening to you?

BRETT QUIGLEY: I play a lot of golf, and I think taking Monday off completely, and obviously missing the cut at Tampa, it possibly helped me because I didn't have to play Saturday and Sunday and then not playing Monday, so I was fresh starting Tuesday; anxious to get back playing.

I mean, I love playing. I've been playing Monday morning with Dana and my dad at Bear Lakes, so it's not a big deal for me.

Q. So you thought 68s would be good even when the conditions were

BRETT QUIGLEY: Perfect. Even with no wind or with wind, I'd make four 68s and sit down and let the guys try to get there.

Q. What makes the par 3s here, especially 6 and 18, so memorable or special?

BRETT QUIGLEY: There's no room for error. The bunkers are down pretty deep. Obviously 6 you have to hit the green or you're hitting another one.

And then 18 is 230 into the wind. I had 4 iron out on 18 and looked again, and I said, There's no way. I had to kill it to get to the front. I hit a great 7 wood right over the flag.

Q. On 6, what is the pucker factor compared to like say 17 at Sawgrass?

BRETT QUIGLEY: I'd probably say a little more because the wind was blowing in off the left yesterday, and it was blowing in today. With a front right pin, that was a really tough pin placement today.

Q. Did you ever go to the back tee just for grins during a practice round?

BRETT QUIGLEY: I didn't know the back tee was there until today. I looked at the yardage book. Hopefully they're not going to use it. I couldn't imagine hitting it 230 from back there, or 220. I mean, it's impossible. Lay up to the drop zone and then chip it on.

Q. Did you have a sense of what a target score would be on Thursday, given what it's like?

BRETT QUIGLEY: I didn't think anyone would break 10 under, I really didn't, starting the week. I mean, they've narrowed the fairways a bunch here. Every sprinkler is five yards in the rough, and you know that used to be fairway. They've brought it in quite a bit.
