Quick Quotes


Q. Chandler, 69, and then the ace there on 17. Awesome. If we can get some comments on that?

CHANDLER BLANCHET: Yeah, solid day. It's a tough course. It's a little softer today than a few days we had kind of preparing for it, so maybe a little bit more scorable. Any time you're shooting in the 60s at Quail Hollow it's a good round.

Q. Take us through the ace.

CHANDLER BLANCHET: Yeah, it was kind of just a perfect number. I hit 6-iron yesterday, a little bit different wind, and I felt like it was pretty similar today, just a little bit more wind in. I had 183, wind in off the right. Felt like probably going to hurt about 10 yards or so. Kind of a cut 6-iron. I told my caddie, we've been hitting it well all day, and some holes you can't be too aggressive with kind of the trouble nearby. But that one I felt like I could go pretty close to the pin and hit it really well. In the air somebody was saying, Go in, and I said, Man, it does look pretty good, and then it trickled in. So that was sweet.

Q. What was the reaction out there like?

CHANDLER BLANCHET: Yeah, it was good. It was cool. First hole-in-one on TOUR or probably any PGA-sanctioned tour, I think, so that was cool. Cool spot for it.

Q. First hole-in-one on that hole in 10 years. What are you planning for celebration?

CHANDLER BLANCHET: Get some beers for the caddies and the media center, for sure. But I don't know, I'll take the little guy maybe to get Chipotle and we'll go to bed.

Q. Did he see the hole-in-one? Was he there for it?

CHANDLER BLANCHET: He was. I think they just missed it. They showed up on 18 tee.

Q. What club did you hit?

CHANDLER BLANCHET: 6-iron.
