Humble, Texas
Q. Another good one out here today, Jamie. How different was this, how different did this golf course play compared to Thursday?
JAMIE LOVEMARK: Yeah, crazy different. 20 degrees colder, blowing 18, 20 miles an hour. Tees are up. Wind was up. So, yeah, it was different. Lot more challenging. Yesterday the ball was traveling forever. Not an amount of breath of wind. I think we got the best draw, the early/late.
Q. What does it say about where you are with your game to get through a round like this and put up a 68?
JAMIE LOVEMARK: Lot of confidence taken away from this round. Lot of water out there, trusting my swing and letting the wind take care of the ball. Swinging great. Got to make some more putts and be a good weekend.
Q. We talked at Bay Hill that you continue to knock on the door. As you said, you've won at every level. Only a matter of time. What are you learning from each and every week getting more comfortable when you get in this position?
JAMIE LOVEMARK: Just learning tendencies. Obviously under pressure, swing changes a little bit. It's a little attitude changes a little bit, body fluctuates a lot. Just ins and outs of being in contention late on Sunday and stuff. Hopefully I'll get it one of these days.
Q. How much more comfortable are you out here as opposed to maybe five years ago, your rookie season?
JAMIE LOVEMARK: Lot more. I'm playing better, I'm older, more mature. Got my stuff together. So, having a good time.
Q. What's it like for you to be back here five years later after you're having to withdraw from this event and led to the back surgery.
JAMIE LOVEMARK: Feels great. I remember on Wednesday, was it 2011 I guess it would be, couldn't really bend over to get into my set-up and I knew that day I was in trouble. So, yeah, feels great to be playing at a course where I couldn't even compete five years ago. Come a long ways, and hopefully I'll be able to win it and that will be a cool story.
Q. When you look now at so many young guys really playing well, is there anything that causes you to reflect back on where you were at 22, 23, maybe things you might have done differently or lessons you learned?
JAMIE LOVEMARK: Yeah, of course. Hindsight is 20/20. You never know. But it's just crazy how good players are when they're young, come out here, competing every week. It's impressive, really is. Maybe the public takes it for granted. Players out here know how impressive it is, as do I. I couldn't quite get it done at that age.
Q. What are some of the tendencies that you learned about, talked about?
JAMIE LOVEMARK: Some swing stuff. Not to get into too many details. Stuff I've been working on with Chris. Stuff I took from Palm Springs and even Sea Island, Bay Hill, stuff like that. Hopefully have a pretty good grasp on it.
Q. Talking about attitude?
JAMIE LOVEMARK: Lot of patient stuff. Just not putting too much into one single shot. It's been a big key for me the last couple years. Getting older and mature.
