Quick Quotes

Q. Sam, 3-under par, 68 today. Just get some comments on your round.

SAM BURNS: Yeah, I think overall it was solid. I think I didn't quite drive it well enough to give myself enough looks.

Other than that, I think overall it was solid. Managed the golf course well. Yeah, I think just drive it a little bit better, give myself some more opportunities tomorrow.

Q. Take us through the eagle on No. 3.

SAM BURNS: Yeah, hit a good tee shot there kind of down the right side, and then pretty good hybrid in there. Jut needed a couple more to carry the right edge, but got up on the front and I was able to make a long putt.

Q. Bit of a topsy-turvy back nine. Comment on that if you can.

SAM BURNS: Yeah. Like I said, I just didn't drive it well enough. Bunker on 10, desert on 11, made two bogeys. Need to put it in the fairway.

Q. Just two shots back. Talk a little bit about your excitement level going into the weekend in contention here.

SAM BURNS: Yeah, I think we're in a good position. Continue to play the golf course as we have planned out. See what happens.
