Q. This match is the one you really needed to have, and you played so steady and solid, clean card to close it out at 14.
SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Yeah, I played really nice today. I didn't really make any mistakes. I took advantage of a few mistakes he made early. He got a really bad break on our second hole, and after that I started cruising and played some good golf.
Q. How satisfying knowing you needed to come out and win this match and you got the job done.
SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Yeah, it feels good. It's exactly what I had to do to have the match and now I've got to go beat him again.
Q. Boy oh boy, that was an impressive victory over Matt Fitzpatrick. What was the mindset for Scottie Scheffler knowing what you had to do today?
SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: I just had to come out and play some good golf. I feel like I've played pretty solid the last two days. Tommy just played great yesterday and beat me. I didn't feel like I lost the match, I felt like he came out and beat me.
Today I got off to a really good start. I made a crucial putt on 18 and then I made a nice up-and-down there on 13 to kind of keep the momentum on my side and finish it up.
