Q. Career low round, final push, putting yourself in good position here. What did you like about your round?
CT PAN: You know, just before the round, I was just trying to give myself a lot of birdies putts out there. I know the greens are soft because we had quite a bit of rain overnight, and we played the ball up, as well.
Just trying to give myself a lot of birdie looks, and on the back nine, pretty crazy. I had two eagles. I don't think I've ever done that before, and shot 62 today, my lowest round on the PGA TOUR or many any life. Just really cool to do it on Sunday and on the PGA TOUR.
Q. Great finish with an eagle on 18. Was there leaderboard watching, going for kind of the extra push?
CT PAN: Yeah, I'm one of the guys to watch the leaderboard, kind of giving myself a challenge to it. I knew 21-under, Jason Day was 20-under, I thought 21 had a good chance -- I mean, he was 21-under so I knew I needed to make eagle.
I hit a really good driver, had 245, and then my 7-wood went like 240, so I went after it a little bit, and then it just turns out perfect, 12-foot putt for eagle.
Q. What are big takeaways from this week, and where are you feeling most comfortable in your game?
CT PAN: Just I had five months off because of my left wrist, and just really cool to be in contention again because you never know. Once you get hurt, you never know what's going to happen in the future.
It's really cool to be back, and I finally found my game. First two events coming back, a little bit rusty, a little bit rough. But it's coming on nicely.
Q. How is the wrist feeling?
CT PAN: It's good. It's good. The wrist -- my back hurts a little bit. It's breaking down, my body. No, just joking.
Q. With the wrist, kind of take us through how was the rehab, how was that process to get back here?
CT PAN: The rehab, I didn't do surgery, I was trying to avoid it, so I had a PRP shot, and just a lot of rest, a lot of doing nothing. That's good. I never had that in my past 10 years, so just spent a lot of time with my family, staying with my wife back home in Taiwan, and just a lot of rest.
But coming back after four or five months, my game was rusty, I can tell you that.
Q. Is this week almost surprising in the way you finished, or had you been rounding into form the last couple weeks?
CT PAN: Yeah, my first event was at Harbour Town. Didn't play good. Driving was off. Last week at Wells Fargo I finally hit a lot of fairways, gave myself a lot of good birdie chances out there. Just the putter wasn't hot enough and missed the cut by one. But my game was trending in a good way.
This week a lot of my friends are here cheering for me. I think that really helps me, and my game feels good. We've been working on my game for the last two months, just trying to get ready.
Q. I think projected at least you're going to finish right around that 100 mark in the FedExCup after this week, so right in the thick of it with the season. Do you feel like this can jump start you?
CT PAN: I didn't think that much. I just came back from the rehab, so I was just trying to hit one good shot at a time and see how it goes.
