Q. Just start off with overall assessment of the week and putting yourself in contention the final round.
JOAQUIN NIEMANN: I think overall, looking back for the four days, especially today was playing amazing golf. I think I hit only two bad swings, and they cost me a lot. And I'm pretty happy the way I played all the other holes. The good shots I hit on the last couple of holes, the birdie on 16, I just take the positive out of that and just keep going.
Q. The connection between how this course, where you started your career, just kind of full circle, how meaningful this tournament is for you?
JOAQUIN NIEMANN: This is a special week. Obviously it is Jack's tournament also. It's one of my first tournaments I played since I turned pro. I think it was my third tournament. And I remember having, making a nice birdie on 18 to tie for six and made me keep going, to keep playing out here. So it was nice that Jack gave me the opportunity to play out here. And now to be in contention is just nice. And this is one of the places I love.
