Quick Quotes

Q. You won three of the last four holes. Take me through that stretch.

GORDON SARGENT: Yeah, I was 1-down through 13 and just like -- I was playing good golf. He chipped in for eagle on 12. I didn't really feel like I got too many breaks because I got a little frustrated and just told myself to regroup and just play him straight up the last couple holes and beat him, at least get to extra holes. Started making a few putts in there, and it worked out my way.

Q. You're in the quarterfinals of the biggest junior tournament in the world. How does that feel?

GORDON SARGENT: It's pretty special knowing that I'm only a couple matches away. All these players are so good. We were making a joke that our whole Wyndham Cup team was playing this week and they all made match play. To be able to say I beat some of these players, it really means a lot.

Q. What are your thoughts on the back nine of Dogwood because you've done pretty well there, especially in this match?

GORDON SARGENT: I think you have to stick to your game plan, can't try and force it even if you get a couple down. There's some holes where par will win the hole, so I think you've just got to trust it and go and play your game.

Q. Going into tomorrow strategy-wise, how does your game feel? Anything you're going to change?

GORDON SARGENT: Yeah, I'm hitting it really well, just need a few putts to fall. Luke is a really good player. We can have fun out there. We're good friends, too. Should be a fun one.
