Q. Nick, we kind of talked on Monday after you qualified for the U.S. Open that maybe that could lead to good play this week. Did some of that good play kind of fall over here into Thursday?
NICK TAYLOR: Yeah, definitely. I felt like I putted really nice on Monday, and that kind of led into today. Drove it really nice today, hit a lot of fairways, which is tough to do out here. I think with the wind direction today, there was a lot shorter clubs into certain holes that I was able to take advantage of.
I think having good mojo Monday led into today. I was able to have a couple easy days of rest, which we talked about was important for me after a really long day. Yeah, hopefully can just keep it going.
Q. Was this a different wind than what you're used to seeing at Colonial?
NICK TAYLOR: Yeah, it's typically a south wind from what I remember. It was mostly west, a little northwest today, so there was just certain angles today with downwind, into the wind that we just don't typically have. It was a bit of adjustment. I think it's back to south for the weekend.
Yeah, it was just an adjustment, so I felt like we did a pretty good job today.
Q. What did you do the last couple days to make sure you were rested after Monday to be prepared for this weekend?
NICK TAYLOR: You know, I only played nine both days. Kind of had easy mornings. Limited the practice. It rained quite a bit on Tuesday so I didn't really do a whole lot. Yeah, I was just managing the time. I knew I was playing well so I didn't need to overdo it. So just spent less time out here really.
