Quick Quotes

Q. Your thoughts on advancing to the BMW Championship?

TOM HOGE: I'm excited. Been struggling coming in here for a few months, I haven't made any cuts. It's nice to play four good days more than anything. I would have taken this week coming in. I was 108th coming into the week and I was trying to play well. I wasn't thinking a whole lot of next week and yeah, really excited for next week.

Q. Was it a free-wheeling week?

TOM HOGE: Yeah, a little bit. I felt like I had been playing a little better here each week and I got here, felt like it was a good golf course for me. Felt pretty comfortable and started making a lot of putts, so that was a lot of fun.

Q. What was off with your game coming in?

TOM HOGE: I was driving it well, which is I didn't felt like I had a chance here. It's a tough driving golf course. My iron game still needs a little bit of work, but I drove it well and putted well.

Q. This is what the Playoffs are about, having that bit of pressure, did you feel that kind of coming into today? Does that help and motivate you as you go along?

TOM HOGE: Yeah, for sure. Just kind of the whole two days, really, didn't know if we were going to play or not. I had no plans as far as what we were going to did after the round here, so you have to play well and make sure you're moving on.

Even with that being said, we are trying to make it to next week but ultimately make it to East Lake and THE TOUR Championship. That bogey stung on 17 in the bigger picture there, but I feel satisfied moving and happy to move on to next week.
