Q. Another 2-under 70. Another solid day for you. What were you seeing out there from the course today?
PATRICK RODGERS: Yeah, it was really solid. I knew it would be quite a bit more difficult in the afternoon. Especially Friday afternoon. I thought they maybe gave us a little bit of a break, the greens maybe a touch softer this afternoon than what I watched on TV yesterday. But, yeah, it's a demanding test. Even the scorable holes you have to hit some really quality shots. I think the thing I was most proud of today was I got off to a not an ideal start and I battled back from that position to get right back in the tournament. So I'm excited about the weekend.
Q. A position that you put yourself in a couple times this year, a career high four top 10s this season. Are you feeling more comfortable being in contention going into the weekend?
PATRICK RODGERS: Yeah, absolutely. I feel like I'm a veteran out here by now and so I definitely feel like I'm hitting my stride. But my coach and I have just done a good job of sticking to the process of just trying to improve and chip away at my weaknesses and see how good we can get. I have really high aspirations. I would love to be one of the best players in the world. That's what I'm working for. So weekends like this are a great opportunity.
