Quick Quotes

Q. Tell me about your day.

DARIUS VAN DRIEL: Well, today was a little bit more difficult than previous days, more wind. Luckily we kept it dry, so a little bit better than the previous days. But no, overall pretty good day. Putted well and hit good shots for the most.

Q. Six birdies, one bogey. You've got to be pleased with the score you've actually signed.

DARIUS VAN DRIEL: I am, I am. Starting the week I had a little trouble with my swing, and I just came to the conclusion I'm going to hit it left to right this week, and it's working, but it's not the way I normally play.

Q. I think you were in this position a few weeks ago where you were in contention and you came tied second, I believe. What did you learn from that experience to make it a little bit more positive tomorrow and get across the line?

DARIUS VAN DRIEL: Well, obviously you've got to get in these positions first, and obviously to get more experience is always better. Hopefully there will be more crowds tomorrow. I like to play with some crowds. But no, it's just keep calm and try to hit good shots, and if you can hole a few putts, that's good, and just see how it goes tomorrow.

Q. Would it be fair to say there's a degree of consistency you're playing with? Are you fairly content about the way you're playing?

DARIUS VAN DRIEL: I am, I am. I'm content about the way I'm playing, I'm not really content with the way I'm swinging it, but golf is a game without any pictures on the scorecard, so I take it as it is.

Q. You possibly won't be leading but you're going to be in the mix, which is kind of where a professional wants to be going into Sunday. How excited are you about playing tomorrow?

DARIUS VAN DRIEL: I am. I just bought a house last week, so obviously I'm very excited to be in this position, and I'm going to do my best tomorrow to get the best out of it, and at the end you'll see where you finish.
