Q. What did you like best about your round out there today?
CHARL SCHWARTZEL: Just everything. There wasn't any real weakness. Driving the ball well, hitting a lot of good iron shots to give myself opportunities and just felt comfortable with the putter so I made a few putts.
Q. What is it you like about this place? You had an T-3 finish last year, you're right up there this year?
CHARL SCHWARTZEL: Some familiarity to me with some of the courses I played back in South Africa. I don't feel claustrophobic off the tee, it gives me a bit of space, and once I can get it in play iron play is not much of a problem. So just really comfortable.
Q. What has changed in your game really since the Masters after you had that sort of run of missed cuts?
CHARL SCHWARTZEL: Yeah, it was trending, it's just the game is hard, you know? So just prepared well for Augusta, tried to work on my mind a bit better, just getting down on myself before that.
And Augusta is a place I love and I went in, swing was, I was comfortable, just a better attitude. But I played better and since then it's felt better to me.
Q. You're not quite in the PGA Championship next week, is that something that's on your mind at all or just something you think you'll just take care of itself?
CHARL SCHWARTZEL: Well, I'm real close, I think I'm probably first reserve at the moment, so there's a good chance I get in, but we'll worry about that next week.
