Q. Tom, great day; 15 points out there in the second round. Take us through today does what was working for you.
TOM VAILLANT: Yeah, it was nice. Not easy this morning with how cold it was, but just a nice round. Just steady the whole day and just tried to stay on the fat side all day long and tried to have as many birdie opportunities as I can because greens are pretty good.
So obviously that was the main goal.
Q. Do you feel like this format with Stableford opens it up and frees you to go out and play loose?
TOM VAILLANT: A little bit because you're more aggressive I guess. Still bogey punish you so you just have to stay steady the whole day and of course a little bit more aggressive.
I'm just playing -- I'm trying to play as every day and not trying to do something different.
Q. This is your second year in a row playing ISCO and Barracuda back-to-back. Talk about the importance or the opportunities that these two weeks have.
TOM VAILLANT: Yeah, it's very, very good obviously for us. We can have a great week and it can change our season so obviously it's nice.
And playing PGA TOUR is a kid dream, so obviously really happy to be there and try to embrace it.
Q. You're sitting pretty good right now. Entering the weekend anything you want to clean up or work on?
TOM VAILLANT: No. Just the same. Trying to avoid short side, avoid mistakes, stay steady the whole day. For me that's the main thing. Just try to stay very steady and hitting the right shot at the right time.
