Quick Quotes


Q. Going into Sunday, leading the amateurs, what's the mindset on the final 18?

RYDER COWAN: I don't know. I'm just going to try to focus on hitting one golf shot at a time, not worry about kind of what's going on. There's a lot of stuff going on. There's a lot of crowds that are rowdy. There's a lot of guys that are rowdy.

So just trying to stay focused on what I'm trying to do, hit every golf shot, and, yeah I don't think I'm ever worried about tomorrow ams. I really want to go try and win a golf tournament. That's kind of what I'm focused on.

Q. Kind of the wind conditions, been a little bit flying around today. What's kind of the difference between today and the last two rounds?

RYDER COWAN: Today I feel like it kind of laid down a little bit for us in the afternoon, which was not usual. It was actually heavier -- I feel like it was blowing a little more this morning.

You know, it was nice. I feel like I've got a good wave at least. So, I don't know, the last two days have been -- it's been carnage out here. It's been blowing like no other.

So, yeah, we got a little bit of a break today, but it's still blowing. This course is still hard.
