Torrey Pines Golf Course

Quick Quotes

Q. Overall thoughts on the week?

BRANDEN GRACE: Yeah, loved every second of it. I think it's one of those U.S. Opens where the setup was fair. I think the golf course showed the toughness. It wasn't that -- they didn't need to do much to bring the teeth out of this place. All in all, it was great. It was nice to be back, nice to have the crowds back, and it was just a great week.

Q. Torrey Pines, in your opinion how did it stack up as a U.S. Open venue?

BRANDEN GRACE: Oh, right up there. This was one of those bucket list ones for me that I've always wanted to play, so I'm very thankful that I was qualified and I got in, and I like playing around this place. But I think it's definitely one of my top 5 venues.

Q. So far low round of the day. Thoughts about your game and the rest of the year?

BRANDEN GRACE: Yeah, I thought I played really well, obviously, the whole week. The first three days I struggled with the putter, just didn't get my lines, and I did a little bit of work yesterday afternoon and managed to get it today. Today I made those momentum putts when I needed to and it kept the round going, whereas the last couple days I didn't. All in all I'm very pleased. Hopefully I'll finish top 10 or somewhere around there, and very excited for what's to come. The golf is trending in the right direction, and I'm excited.
