Q. What are you happy with today?
HIDEKI MATSUYAMA: I guess the long answer is I missed a short putt there at 2, knocked it in the water at 4, but from that point on, I really played well and putted well.
Q. Did you make 5 at 4, make double bogey at 4?
HIDEKI MATSUYAMA: Got it up-and-down.
Q. What was the most impressive shot you hit today?
HIDEKI MATSUYAMA: It would have to be the second shot at 16.
Q. 3-wood?
HIDEKI MATSUYAMA: Yes.
Q. Was it better than the one at the Sony Open?
HIDEKI MATSUYAMA: Nothing beats the Sony Open.
Q. How do you feel about this structure of the post season for the TOUR Championship?
HIDEKI MATSUYAMA: I like the system, especially where I am at. It's a little bit -- I don't know if unfair is the right word, but Scottie deserves to be much further ahead than just two strokes there at the TOUR Championship. With that in mind, it's tough for him, I think. But for me, I'm enjoying it.
Q. Is there any problem with the hot weather?
HIDEKI MATSUYAMA: No, today was nice and cool.
