Quick Quotes


Q. 16 pars, two birdies today. How do you feel you played today?

TOM KIM: It was tough. So hot out there, golly. It was so freaking hot.

It was like 16 pars, two birdies, it was just a grind. Just birdies were not going in. They were like stopping right in front of the hole or just -- I had a few good looks, few good chances on the fairway, didn't really quite capitalize.

Days like this, you're just grinding it out, making sure -- a day like this kind of keeps me in it for the weekend.

Obviously would have liked to shoot 4- or 5-under par. Had a chance for sure, wasn't to be, but definitely walked away with a bogey-free 2-under par that keeps me in the tournament. For sure I'll be pleased with it.

Q. With the heat being such a factor, did you consider rolling up the pants again today?

TOM KIM: I did, yeah, but it was such a -- people were having such a big laugh at it, I kind of was worried about it.

No, I had black pants on today, so I didn't really have an excuse. I'm trying to think what pant colors I have tomorrow.

If it's wet tomorrow, maybe it's coming back. I played well with it yesterday, so we'll see.
