Quick Quotes

Q. Plus 14 for today, plus 30 overall, one more round to go. What's your overall assessment?

TAYLOR PENDRITH: Yeah, I'm hitting the ball really well, giving myself lots of looks, and last few days I've been able to make some putts. Just got to keep doing more of that, but my game feels good, and looking forward to tomorrow.

Q. Your tournament debut, so what are your overall thoughts of this course and a different format of course to be playing with?

TAYLOR PENDRITH: The course is awesome. It's a perfect setup for this kind of format. There's lots of, I guess, risk-reward holes. You can make some eagles and lots of birdies. It's fun, I've never played a Stableford event. It's great, the first round I only made three birdies and got lapped. You've just got to keep making birdies and keep going.

Q. Each round you're trending in the right direction, higher score, and highlighted by an eagle today. Have you been playing more aggressive each round? Is there a certain type of strategy?

TAYLOR PENDRITH: I think I've played equally as aggressive the first three days. I've just been hitting it a little bit closer. I drove it really well today and yesterday, and my putter has been heating up, so I made lots of nice putts today and yesterday, and ultimately got me to this position.

Q. Coming off a T11 from Barbasol, so everything is kind of coming together at this point?

TAYLOR PENDRITH: Yeah, I think so. It's nice that the Korn Ferry gave us some opportunities to play in some of these events, so I'm just happy to be here. Had a good week at the Barbasol, so kind of riding that momentum. I knew I could play with these guys, so just trying to have some fun, but it's been a great week so far.
