Quick Quotes


Q. What are you most proud of from the round today?

COLLIN MORIKAWA: Just kind of stayed patient and knew there was a birdie opportunity if you were hitting it well out here with your irons nearly on every hole. I just wasn't all there, but still was able to keep myself around the lead, two back right now, so hopefully we'll see if I can just play my style of golf tomorrow and hopefully make a lot of birdies.

Q. How encouraging is that when you say it wasn't all there but yet you're only two shots back of the lead heading into Sunday?

COLLIN MORIKAWA: Yeah, this is how I feel like I used to play. That's what's great is that you just find a way to score and you find a way to keep yourself near the lead. Webb Simpson told me early on in my career, if you just have a chance with nine holes to go or 18 holes on a Sunday, you've done a lot of the work needed. Tomorrow is just all about committing to your shots and just remembering that -- staying in your own head, not trying to play anyone else's golf.

Q. What do you feel like you need to do tomorrow and where can you gravitate back to from the past to try to grab what you need to do for tomorrow?

COLLIN MORIKAWA: Look, I absolutely want to win. There's no reason why -- you look at the past two weeks, it's like, I've given myself chances, it's time to close one out. I think for tomorrow I've just got to stay within myself and play my game. I've really got to stick to my game plan, stick to how I have plotted out this golf course, and go from there.

Q. Is there one thing from your win, from the past wins that you really kind of keep in your head when you get into situations like this?

COLLIN MORIKAWA: I mean, I can draw on a lot of good shots, and whenever you have those good shots you can kind of use that to your advantage and use that throughout the final round if things aren't feeling great, but hopefully we wake up tomorrow and start the first hole and the ball just kind of goes where you want it.
