Quick Quotes

Q. Good playing out there today. Good par save on the last hole so you didn't drop a shot to post that 9-under.

MARK HUBBARD: Yeah, I felt like I needed to make that one because my shot into the green was so bad, especially after he had hit a decent one in a good position, I could have been pretty aggressive on my shot in there and chose to hit it 40 yards short right instead, so I'm glad I made that last one.

Q. Sebastian, what was the key to your round out there today?

SEBASTIAN CAPPELEN: Well, we've been good friends for awhile now coming off the Korn Ferry the same year, and our wives are great friends, so we spend a lot of time together on the road. It was pretty natural to partner up for this event. We never thought in a million years to look at what our games are like compared to each other. We're like, no, we just want to play together because we have a good dynamic, and I think that's a big key to -- I know there's a lot of different analysis like going into figuring out how to team up for this event, but I think just our dynamic and our friendship, it's pretty I easy to walk the course with each other, I think.

Q. Tomorrow it'll be alternate-shot; how are you going to approach the second round?

MARK HUBBARD: I'm just going to try and hit a few more fairways for him and keep making some putts, but I know I'll have it easy; he's been driving the ball great, and he hits it a lot farther than me, so tomorrow is going to be a lot of fun for me.

Q. Sebastian, how about you?

SEBASTIAN CAPPELEN: He's finally going to get to hit his 9-iron and wedges into the greens. So he might have to adjust for that extra spin because he doesn't hit those very much.
