Q. Joaco, fantastic round today. You clearly turned it around, especially on the greens. What did you work on overnight to turn that around?
JOAQUÍN NIEMANN: Well, I wish it was overnight. There's been a lot of work before. Yeah, I have some good weeks on the greens. I feel like yesterday I hit a lot of good putts, just getting adjusted to these greens. They're a little bit tricky, the whole place going one way, the greens going the other way. It's kind of tricky, but I feel like I'm getting adjusted.
Q. You had a tough week at Augusta National. What are some of the positives that you have clearly brought into this week?
JOAQUÍN NIEMANN: Yeah, I feel like -- I felt like it was a good week overall. Obviously the result wasn't the best. I played great. My putting wasn't the best. I feel like, yeah, I worked a lot on my putting since that week, and I feel like now it's paying off a little bit.
Q. Finally, about that one U.S. Open spot, how much is that on your mind?
JOAQUÍN NIEMANN: Yeah, definitely it's up there. I feel like I've just got to keep doing what I'm doing, and I feel like I'll be all right.
