The birdie on 11 was huge, that propelled me for the rest of the round.

It was a very, very tough day, danny made it extremely difficult. He really made a lot of putts, a lot of unbelievable up and downs to kind of keep me from getting all the momentum. I really, really played solidly today.

Patrick played unbelievably, put a lot of heat on me, in the end, it could have been good for me. It kept me focused, kept my head down. ... I was really nervous going into today. I remembered that its really hard to win a golf tournament, and Im glad that I was able to do so.

Guys giving me advice in the locker room how to finish off a tournament, i was like, Ive done this a couple times guys but, thank you. Thats what I was saying on the way over here. Its a lot of the outside noise that makes it harder sometimes to stay focused.

Talk to your caddie a lot. Make sure you keep talking, oK, as long as you stop talking its fine with me.

I can certainly say I never slept on a Wednesday lead. by Justin Thomas

I can certainly say I never slept on a Wednesday lead.

I thought the way the club was going to hit the tree it was gong to break and I'd have to avoid a nine-iron the rest of the day but it didn't break, it hit near the hosel and sent a little shock up my arm.

I was very in control of everything tee to green, i didn't necessarily get off to the greatest start score-wise but felt I was playing well.

I don't care what people are talking about, it doesn't bother me.

I love it, i wish we played it more often.

We had a great afternoon yesterday, rickie travels with two baseball gloves and a ball so I think him and Jimmy started throwing.

I've been struggling on Saturdays so far this year and maybe the key is to play a little poorly the first two days, I don't know what it is, but, yeah, it was big today, it was one of the best rounds I've probably ever played in competition. To do it at a stage like this and a field and a golf course like this, to get back in the tournament was big.

It's going to pretty cool the next few years, we'll be 23, and there could be six of us out here.

It was probably the best zone and best focus I've ever been in, i knew I was playing well, but I really didn't know how many under I was for the day, and I just kind of kept playing. It doesn't happen very often in golf, and it's really fun to happen. It's probably maybe only the second time it's ever happened to me.

I didn’t really do anything at all today and I very easily could have won the tournament, i mean, good drive on 18, and I have a wedge in there and could be in this playoff just as easily. But a lot to build on a, lot of positives, and we got a big stretch coming up, so I’m excited for it.

He's done a lot of great things for the PGA Tour, it’s a big reason it is where it is. But him and others that are very adamant about that, if they’re that passionate, go ahead. I do n’t think anybody’s stopping them.

I want it to be an opportunity, just the fun, different things that people wouldn't necessarily see. ... There’s a lot of different aspects that I think will be great for not only myself, but guys that give people a little better understanding of who we are and grow our brand a little bit.

Definitely calling it a success both my dad and Tiger made it 18 holes.

I hit it pretty good and as soon as his ball took that big bounce we looked at each other and I was like, ‘If it’s going to happen, it’s going to be this one because I think it just launched.’ And yeah, that was a shot to the ego.

In terms of hitting shots, he's not that far away, but in terms of being able to compete and walk 72 holes multiple weeks in a row, yeah, that's a different story and he's the only one who can answer that.

That was just ridiculous, i looked at him and as soon as he sat in the cart, he just kind of looked at me and smiled. And I knew exactly that’s the kind of shots that he hits when he’s healthy.
