Q. It's your first competition back since what you went through over in the UK. How are you feeling, and has there been any extra adjustment from there to competition here?
MARC LEISHMAN: Yeah, feeling good. Probably not quite 100 percent, but pretty close to it. Can still go at it, I'm just a little bit sore at the end of the day. But that's probably expected. It's not even three weeks today since the surgery. I've been told I can't do any damage, so feeling good. Golf swing feels the same, all my distances are the same. I was really lucky to be able to get that taken care of.
Q. I believe this is the second straight day that you and Lucas have played together. Do you feed off each other's energy at all?
MARC LEISHMAN: Yeah, I think we do. Seems like every time we play together, we both play well. Yeah, we enjoy playing together. You just feed off each other, make some putts. I think more than anything, you just stay positive. I think that's the biggest thing with golf really, just staying positive.
Q. I don't know if you had a chance to peek at the leaderboard, but Rippers in general as a team but also individually are very close to the top. What's the team's mindset, not only heading into tomorrow but keeping an eye on Chicago and getting ready for Dallas and maybe locking up one of those top three byes?
MARC LEISHMAN: Yeah, that was a goal at the start of the week was to try and lock up that top three for Dallas. This week we've got a chance to do it. We got knocked out on Friday last year in Miami, so it would be nice to not have to play Friday this year and take that out of the equation. We've given ourselves a good chance. It's nice seeing all the boys at the top of the leaderboard and the team at the top. Hopefully we can have a good day tomorrow and we'll all be very happy.
