Q. Charley, being able to rebound after kind of the tough start on that first hole, walk me through what the first nine holes were like for you.
CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, I played pretty solid. Yeah, just the first hole it was a bit of a different game plan because the wind was a slightly different direction. The first two days I was getting quite close to the green, and it's quite narrow up there. I hit a 4-iron and the wind was quite gusty on my second shot and I just come up short. But was only a bogey - do you know what I mean - and then I bounced back on the second with a birdie, and then I played pretty solid from there. It was quite tricky out there today.
Hit a really nice shot into I think it was the 14th hole. It was about 20 feet right of the pin, but it was just a very tricky putt and then three-whacked that. But it is what it is and it ain't what ain't what it ain't as players. But nice to finish with a birdie.
Q. Take me through that last birdie?
CHARLEY HULL: Hit a good drive and then just a nice lob wedge from -- I think I had 99 yards to the pin, three-quarter, and then holed the putt.
Q. We really saw the crowds pick up today. What was it like for you to be inching yourself closer into contention?
CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, it was really fun. It was really good. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
Q. What do you like most about this course?
CHARLEY HULL: It didn't really suit my eye in the beginning, but I think the new driver is kind of paying off well.
Q. What's your game plan going into tomorrow knowing that the winds have been picking up, maybe different directions than you may have expected?
CHARLEY HULL: Just play golf again. No different to any other day.
Q. Any runs tomorrow morning?
CHARLEY HULL: Yeah, I'll go run. A little run. I can't not do a run.
