Quick Quotes


Q. Your first two days at Augusta, kind of describe it for you.

MATTHIEU PAVON: Well, that was a tough test. It was really different than two days out with Shane on Monday and Tuesday having fun and betting some money for sure.

I've never played something like that. You have to think on every shot you're going to play, where you want to put the ball. Every kind of downhill putts are really scary. I made some mistakes, got caught a few times. It is really a tough test.

The only thing you can really do is just embrace it and try to do your best out there.

Q. We were talking a little bit with other players about this is very hard to practice, this course, and especially to practice these conditions.

MATTHIEU PAVON: Yes. As I said, Monday, Tuesday, barely half a club of wind, a lot of fun, and today you show up and it's -- I mean, the second day like the pins are tougher for sure, and it's kind of a little bit windier, too. It's not the way I practiced the golf course so far, but it is nice sometimes to just cover it this way.

Q. This is kind of a trend, coming here for the first time, first two days, 1-under with a top group of players, it has to feel special.

MATTHIEU PAVON: No, very special. I was really looking forward to this group. I know Keegan. I've played a couple times with him already this year. He's a lovely player, Ryder Cup player. Tyrrell, first time ever. I was really looking forward to playing with him because I know how good he is and I was really impressed by the quality of the shots that he can hit. That was two days of very enjoyable moment that I keep in mind.
