Q. How would you characterize your round out there today?
CHAD RAMEY: It was a grind. Majority of the front nine, I kind of got in without a whole lot of wind, and then somewhere late in the first nine holes, the wind kind of picked up, started gusting. So that back nine honestly was just a grind.
It was kind of do whatever you can do to kind of guess at what the wind's doing and then just commit to your shot.
Q. The wind came out a different direction today. How did that make the course play different, harder?
CHAD RAMEY: For example, yesterday on hole 18 I hit 3-wood, 9-iron. The same tee box, same tees today, I hit driver, 3-iron. So it made a lot of holes play completely different.
It wasn't too hard to figure out. You just had to play the holes different.
Q. So the wind, in your opinion, was like swirling in the trees and stuff?
CHAD RAMEY: For the most part, no, it wasn't swirling, but it was gusting a lot. Like it was gusting hard.
Q. You come off a win a few weeks ago. How much did that win boost your confidence?
CHAD RAMEY: I mean, it definitely gave me the confidence that I can do it because I have done it, but at the same time, it shows me what I'm doing is working. So just stay within myself and stick to my process.
Q. Now in these situations where you're up near the top of the leaderboard, do you feel like you'll have a better understanding to do what you need to do to be able to accomplish that again?
CHAD RAMEY: Yeah, sure. It's kind of a difficult question, but yeah. The nerves are still going to be there, but I've kind of been there, done it, went through it. So I know what to expect. I guess you could put it that way.
