Liberty National Golf Club

Quick Quotes


Q. How would you assess your week?

MACKENZIE HUGHES: I felt like I played some pretty good golf. I felt like I kind of played the best in the worst conditions on Thursday. It wasn't playing easy on Thursday. I played well. Shot 4-under and felt like I couldn't really get much going the rest of week.

I played okay but was kind of stuck in neutral and yeah, didn't feel -- just wasn't getting much going and kind of made for a somewhat anxious weekend where I was playing around a number that I needed the whole time it seemed like.

Q. You said you kind of stalled a little bit after the first round, but how pleased are you to solidify your spot in the top 70 to play BMW?

MACKENZIE HUGHES: I'm excited. I'm excited to get to next week and have a chance. With the format the way it is, it promotes movement and big finishes go a long way. It's pretty clear what I need to do next week. I need to have a great finish. They are saying probably top five or six. Yeah, goal is to try to get in contention and see what we can do.

Q. What will the next couple days look like for you trying to get down to Baltimore?

MACKENZIE HUGHES: Yeah, it's going to be kind of wild because I've got my family here, so I don't know if leaving tonight is an option. I've got two young kids. So probably be here tonight. Leave early tomorrow. Try and get there, play, and hopefully have some time tomorrow, and then I know there's a Pro-Am on Wednesday which I'm not going to be part of.

So it's going to be a bit of a cram tomorrow, and then hopefully a more chill day Wednesday and get going.
