Q. Really tough test today out there. Just what allowed you to play well?
COREY CONNERS: Yeah, I think just keeping things simple. Felt like I drove the ball pretty well. I got the ball in the fairway when I needed to. I hit a lot of solid irons shots today, giving myself birdie looks. It's not very easy out there, and you got to stay really patient and not really force anything. So felt like I did a good job of that today. Yeah, just be patient, that's a big key.
Q. Did you change putters this week?
COREY CONNERS: Yeah, it's a new per, I messed around with it for a few weeks now and first event with it. Feel like I'm rolling it really well and just like how it looks and feels and yeah been happy with the results so far.
Q. First time doing center shafted?
COREY CONNERS: Yeah, it's a new look for me. It looked a little funky when I first put it down, just because it was so different. But it looks really good to me now and I got a lot of confidence in it.
Q. Is it hard to trust it when the greens are like this, I mean it's some of the toughest --
COREY CONNERS: I don't think so. Regardless of what you're using, I feel like just comes down to fell and instinct. I really like when the greens are fast, and I feel like I've got good touch out there and I've hit a lot of nice lag putts out here this week as a whole.
Q. What are you expecting tomorrow?
COREY CONNERS: More of the same. I think the greens are going to continue to be really firm and fast. It will put a real premium on being in control of your ball, being in the fairway, and just trying to roll putts in the hole.
Q. Sound like the winds could be more day one-ish. What's it take in those kind of conditions? You talk about patience.
COREY CONNERS: Even more patience. You can't really let mistakes affect you. Not hoping to make too many mistakes tomorrow, to give myself a good chance to climb up there. Yeah, it will take a lot of patience and more of the same, really, just trying to get it in the fairway, trying to get it on the green and make some putts, then it will be good.
