Q. 5-under 66; nice way to cap off the week. Can we get some comments?
SHANE LOWRY: Yeah. I think, look, I'm pretty happy with it, but I'm going to go away and think what-if with this week because I obviously shot two very good scores and I was pretty poor yesterday. The golf course probably at its easiest was yesterday, and I just didn't take advantage of it.
Yeah, but hopefully I can squeeze -- there's a lot of golf left to be played, but hopefully I can squeeze a top 10 out of it and it will be a nice week and a few FedExCup points and stuff like that. Be nice to take into my two weeks off.
Q. As we talked about earlier this week, coming off the Masters, sometimes there's not a lot left in the tank, so to possibly get a top 10, you've got to feel really good about that.
SHANE LOWRY: Yeah, I've done okay here in the past. I like coming here after the Masters because I feel like it's such a chill week. I feel like the Masters is so stressful that you come down here, and I bring my family and it's just nice. It's a nice place to come, a nice place to play golf, and it's a lovely golf course. I would argue that's probably one of the best stops on TOUR.
I'm always going to come here, but yeah, the Masters does take a lot out of you, and I didn't practice much this week. I played nine holes on Tuesday, and I did about an hour on Wednesday, and I was kind of just resting up as much as I could. I made plenty of birdies this week. I made probably enough birdies to win the tournament, but I just kind of made too many mistakes on Thursday and Saturday.
Q. You said two weeks off, so what's your schedule after that?
SHANE LOWRY: Yeah, I'm going to probably -- yeah, I'm taking two weeks off. I'm probably going to play Wells Fargo and then the PGA. That's kind of what I'm thinking, but I don't really know.
I just did my schedule at the start of the year up until now, and we said we'd kind of reassess and see where we are and see what we need to play going forward.
