Q. 63 today. You birdied four out of the last five holes. How would you describe your round?
BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, just tried to keep the pedal down. It's going to take a low number to win. The weather is going to turn a little bit tomorrow, so it was nice to get out there with some good conditions.
I'm hoping the wind is going to blow a little bit. Doesn't look like it's going to get up like it did yesterday afternoon. Happy to be in a good spot. Tough start on Thursday. I've battled back really nice the last couple days.
Q. You said it was really difficult to read these greens. It didn't seem that difficult today. What changed?
BRIAN HARMAN: Took me a day. Took me a day on Thursday to get them figured out.
We made a little bit of a setup change, and I'm hitting some good putts.
Q. 8-under is your best round ever here at the RBC. When did you figure out today that, dang, I'm on one right now?
BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, I got off to kind of a rough start. Hit a bad shot into the green on 1. Made a nice putt on 2 but bogeyed 3. Had to make a decent putt for par on 4. Bad drive on 5. Made a long putt, and that's what kind of got me going because I hit a good shot on 6, made a really nice up-and-down on 7.
Just a couple times I had to save par and I did, and when I had a chance to be aggressive I felt comfortable doing so.
Q. You've had some really good success on this course, especially the last few years. What is it about this course that brings that out?
BRIAN HARMAN: I'm pretty comfortable driving it around here. I some guys get in between driver and 3-wood a lot, don't really know which one. I'm pretty comfortable with both around here and don't mind playing a little more aggressive on some of those holes.
You really have to think your way around this place. It's not just a bomb-and-gouge. I'm not a bomber. Bomb-and-gouge places I feel like I've got to be perfect, whereas here I feel like I can think my way around and stay in it a little longer.
Q. Can you walk us through the chip on 17?
BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, so it's a bad number off the tee. I'm right in between 6-iron and 7-iron, and tried to kill a 7. Hit it just like I wanted to, just come up a little short. Long of that flag is no good.
It's not a simple bunker shot, but it's a good spot to miss it. Just a little left to right and just hit it just like I wanted to.
Q. Talk to me a little bit about your mindset going into tomorrow.
BRIAN HARMAN: Yeah, I won't think about tomorrow until tomorrow. I'll go spend the afternoon with my wife and kids and we'll have a nice -- I think we're going to go over to Russell Henley's house. They've got a place on the beach, so watch our kids run around the beach and then wake up tomorrow and hopefully have a great day.
