Q. You did reach 9-under and no one else has done that. Just talk about that day today.
BEN AN: It was rough. All day, even when I was at 4-under at one point, I didn't drive -- I mean, I drove it pretty bad. The iron shots felt awful. But I had some good putting and short game and got some lucky breaks here and there. So I was kind of surprised that I was 4-under after 11, and it kind of haunted me a little bit at the end of the day. So 1-over, I think that was the right score today at the end of the day. Just didn't have my good stuff. Just, I guess, at 14, it was probably a kind of a bad start moment. I totally played it wrong. It was not good course management. That haunted me for the rest -- or for a couple holes. Because I was hitting the wedge so well today and just couldn't take a chance with it and ended up making a bogey, which sucked. But at the end of the day 1-over for today's golf I think it was fair.
Q. When you say that, and you head into tomorrow, do you feel like you've kind of got your, maybe your poor round out of the way and you can go and focus on creeping up on those leaders?
BEN AN: Yeah, I hope so. That's what I believe in, I think. You always have one iffy round out of four days if you're having a good week. So 1-over isn't so bad if it's an iffy day. It's a tough golf course, especially when you don't drive it well you're not going to have many chances. But I think I probably hit three, four fairways, and just one with the driver. So every other shot is kind of disappointing. Just one of those days. Never had control of the club face and everything, so 1-over was kind of deserving.
Q. Do you go to the range now to work on anything?
BEN AN: No, I'm not going to find anything. I know what to do. Like I say, one of those days it feels a little hard on the golf course, it's a little harder to do what I want to do with the golf swing. So we'll see tomorrow. Hopefully it comes back on me.
