Quick Quotes


J.T. POSTON:

Q. Come-from-behind win over Sungjae Im. What's going through your mind? 3-down through 12. All of a sudden start throwing a bunch of birdies on the board.

J.T. POSTON: Yeah, felt like I played okay the first 12 holes but Sungjae was playing great and not making mistakes. I knew that was going to be the kind of match it was going to be today, so I just needed to kind of get one on the board.

Didn't win a hole until 13, and I think once I was able to kind of get into that lead a little bit, it was just kind of getting the dominance going.

Thankfully made a few birdies coming in.

Q. And great second shot at 16 to give you a look at eagle but the two-putt birdie.

J.T. POSTON: Yeah, exactly. That's just kind of in the driver's seat there with him in the bunker hitting his fourth, so just trying to hit solid shots and I knew 4 was going to be enough.

Tried not to get too ahead of myself or worry too much about what he's doing, but figured if I made a few birdies down the stretch it would be close.

Q. You both won yesterday so you pick up a huge point going into tomorrow. You're in the driver's seat. Thoughts, I guess it's Maverick McNealy tomorrow.

J.T. POSTON: Yeah, I think the first time I played here I was in the driver's seat going into the last day, too, and just didn't play my best. Just going to try and learn from that.

It's one match at a time. It's cliche, but that's kind of what the focus has been all week. Just don't get ahead of myself and try to win another one tomorrow.
