Quick Quotes


Q. Didn't quite finish on a high note, but overall a pretty good defense for the top ten coming in for the 2023 event. Just your thoughts on today's round.

XANDER SCHAUFFELE: It had potential. I think we were pretty close. I think we struggled in years past when we played in this format or even a team thing. We've been able to sort of pick up some slack. Pat picked me up earlier when I had a really bad shot, and I had an opportunity to pick him up on 8, and I missed that putt.

It was just kind of we never really picked each other up when we needed to throughout the week, and it kind of just dragged out. Overall, we're both playing pretty close. We're both pretty tired after a long stretch here. Just looking forward to a break and recharging.

Q. Is this kind of an event that you have to pick each other up over and over again over the four days because you're really tired?

PATRICK CANTLAY: Best ball wasn't our best format this year compared to last year. We both had some opportunities to save some pars and make some putts that we didn't make this year. Coming down the stretch, I just hit a poor drive on 18 and put him in a bad spot.

That was kind of the story of the week. We didn't necessarily hit all the great shots when we needed to.

Q. Individually, your play this week, can you each talk a little bit about what you saw with your game that you're going to be working on moving forward and what was strong this week for each of you?

XANDER SCHAUFFELE: I can probably talk for both of us. Like he said, we didn't have our best stuff throughout the course of the tournament, but there's not really anything to work on. Probably just try to get as many hours of sleep as possible in the next couple of days and don't touch your clubs.

We already talked a little bit about that earlier in the day. I think we're both looking forward to a little bit of rest.
