Quick Quotes


Q. 7-under par today. If we can get some comments on a really good day.

ANDREW PUTNAM: Yeah. It was kind of an interesting start with the weather and just kind of felt like we needed to get through the first few holes, get the sun up, hadn't been able to see very well. So got off to a good start and kept it going.

The middle of the round was pretty good. That really boosted the rest of the round.

Q. Was patience a key today with sort of the weather off and on throughout the round?

ANDREW PUTNAM: Yeah, the start was tough. The wind was kind of gusty. And luckily the wind died a little bit and had pretty good scoring conditions.

Q. What's been working so well for you up to this point this week?

ANDREW PUTNAM: Been putting it pretty good. I had a long one go in on 8 that kind of jump started the round and was able to eagle 9, birdie 10 and kind of get on a roll.

Q. Take us through No. 9, if you can.

ANDREW PUTNAM: Yeah, hit a great drive right down the middle and had a perfect number. Just hit a nice high cut hybrid to about 20 feet and was just perfect, maybe even shorter, 15 feet. Played that hole perfect.

Q. Really good position going into the weekend. How do you feel about that?

ANDREW PUTNAM: Feel good. Yeah, it was a fun day out there. Me and Adam both were cruising. We both shot 7-under, so that's always fun. And Hubbard played well too, so you had a group that was all playing well and a great day today. Hopefully keep it going.
