WELLS FARGO CHAMPIONSHIP

Pat Perez

Q.  Pat, well done out there, maybe highlighted by that bomb at 17, but bogey free!  Is the golf course playing that easy?
PAT PEREZ:  I don't think so.  I didn't realize it until, you know, about 15 when I made birdie, I got to 5‑under or something and I didn't think it was that easy.  I hit it pretty good.  Me and Mark were feeding off each other, we had some good shots, and I don't know, I guess it was out there.  The wind was down a little bit.  We took advantage of opportunities that came our way and just a nice day.

Q.  How is it out there?  Both you guys as a group you shot it 12‑under par.  Pretty easy to play out there when everybody is making birdies?
PAT PEREZ:  I guess.  I've had it the other way, we didn't talk about it.  It was nice to get shots, the play was great, and I like fast anyway, so we played fast and it was just kind of nice to keep rolling.

Q.  What was the key to your round today?
PAT PEREZ:  Well, you know, my shoulder has been killing me this whole week.  I didn't know if I was going to tee it up on Thursday.  So to get that kind ofworked on and feeling a little better, I was able to get some feeling back in my swing and start hitting some good shots and I just rolled with that.
THE MODERATOR:  Thanks, Pat.
