Quick Quotes

Q. So close, I can tell you're frustrated. So close again, what are you feeling right now?

JOAQUÍN NIEMANN: Yeah, overall I'm just happy the way I played the last two holes. I hit so many good putts on the last couple holes on the back nine that I thought were going to drop. Just another good week, so happy with that.

Q. Talking about 17, the decision to chip and not putt from there. It was a great decision obviously; it went in. Talk about your mindset there?

JOAQUÍN NIEMANN: Yeah, it was just a tough green. I know that the putter would be more like the safe play. I could release and make three from there. But if there was no chance that I can make it -- could make it and make a two on that one with the putter, so I just decided to chip it. I had a preferred lie, so I gave myself a really good lie.

Q. Overall you have to take a lot of confidence off the Hawaiian islands, don't you?

JOAQUÍN NIEMANN: Yeah, it was a great two weeks in Hawai'i. Going to go with all the positive and really happy with all the work we've done and just proud.
