Q. Surprised about the iron issue today?
BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Not surprised. I know something is going to happen, but you always have to manage it. It's never going to be perfect, so going out to work on it right now and get it dialed in.
Q. After the front nine, which was actually disappointing --
BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: No kidding.
Q. -- how elated were you to make those three birdies in the middle of the back nine?
BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Yeah, it was nice. Look, I lipped out a putt on 12, too, and gave myself a lot of looks. 15, just pulled a little bit of a wedge and didn't hit a great wedge on 16, good recovery on 17 and then just didn't hit my wedge very well on 18. If I can clean that up tomorrow with the same driving, I'll give myself a chance to shoot a few more under par.
Q. You haven't been in this position in a while; what are your thoughts coming into the weekend?
BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Well, look, I know what to do. I've done it before. It's been a few years, but it doesn't mean I don't know how to do it, and if it's not my time, it's not my time, and I feel like I'm definitely trending in the right direction finally.
