THE MODERATOR: Good round and especially strong finish. That will make dinner taste a little better. Just a few highlights about today.
PATRICK RODGERS: Yeah, I'm doing a good job of making a lot of birdies, which is fun. I really enjoy this format. I feel like it frees me up. It's fun to play aggressive. It's fun to not worry about making mistakes, really try to attack a golf course. So, yeah, I'm having a lot of fun. And it's obviously great to be in Truckee. It's just a really beautiful part of the country and it's a really special week, regardless of the golf.
THE MODERATOR: How much has the air change, that affecting you, and how much time do you have to kind of prepare for that?
PATRICK RODGERS: Yeah, we stood there on one of our last holes and doing, having about eight different numbers to consider by the time you're doing uphill, downhill, altitude, carry distances, all of that. So the caddies are earning their money this week. But, no, it's fun. I like the challenge. It's nice to see the ball go a long way out here.
THE MODERATOR: One last one. What are you feeling especially comfortable with as far as your game goes? Anything you've been working on or anything that's really kind of clicking and giving you the confidence you want?
PATRICK RODGERS: Yeah, I didn't drive it very well yesterday and kind of got away with a few swings and obviously posted a great score. I had a really good chat this morning with my coach, who is actually overseas, but we made a little adjustment with the driver and I hit it on a string all day. So if I keep doing that for the last two rounds I should have tons of opportunities to score points.
