Q. Wilco, obviously, your first PGA TOUR start out here this week. What has the whole experience been like for you up to this point?
WILCO NIENABER: Pretty new. When I got here at registration, I had no idea what to do. The first thing I had to -- the first step I had to do in registration, I wasn't even sure what to do. So that's a little bit different because I'm not sure where to go and what to do. I'm just really grateful to Mr. Friedkin and his family for giving me the opportunity to play this week.
Q. Now that you've kind of put yourself in the mix here, knowing that there's been so much unknown and this is very new, what does that tell you about yourself and your game to be able to stand up to all of that?
WILCO NIENABER: It makes me really excited. I'm really pleased with what I did the last two days. Growing up watching the PGA TOUR is where I want to be, and it's really nice to start off like I did.
Q. Lastly, just the hole-out on 3 short-sided out of the waste bucket there. Talk about how all that was pulled off.
WILCO NIENABER: I think 3 is one of those that I'm going to hit driver, and if I'm going to hit it to a spot where it's pretty easy to make birdie, that's going to happen, but I'm going to take the risk on that. So today I missed it on the right, to the flag on the right, and I was in the waste area, and I just fancied the shot. I don't know why because it was a tough shot. But as soon as I hit that thing, it came off really nice, and it just never looked like going far, and then it went in the hole. So I was really excited.
