Q. Final day of the tournament. You had a great opening stretch on that front nine, really climbing up the leaderboard, put yourself in contention. What were takeaways from today and the week?
MAVERICK MCNEALY: I was really happy with how I played today. The game plan going in was you have to jump on those first five holes, and I definitely did. So 4-under through 5 was a great start, and then it got interesting. The back nine played a little tough, and I definitely think I took on a bit too much risk there, chased a few pins, and it cost me a couple bogeys, but proud of the way I hung in there, made a couple good par saves, and it's building on confidence.
Q. What do you have next coming in your schedule?
MAVERICK MCNEALY: Playing the Zurich Classic next week with my best friend out here, Joseph Bramlett. We're actually roommates. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't preparing a little extra hard for this couple-week stretch, and I think that helped me a lot because I'm playing for more than myself next week, and Joseph and I can't wait to get going.
Q. We talked a little bit previously about Stewart's opening back-to-back rounds of 63. What are your thoughts on that?
MAVERICK MCNEALY: It's so impressive. It's really, really good to shoot a 63 out here on the PGA TOUR, and then to follow that up is even doubly impressive. He's playing great. Not many guys can go that high on that leaderboard for that long, and looks like he's not slowing down.
