Quick Quotes

Q. What was the little differences between the first and second round for you?

SAM BURNS: I hit my irons a little better today. I kind of got off to a slow start today, didn't birdie 3, was able to wedge it in there nice on 5 and convert it. But I think I drove it pretty similar as today as I did yesterday and just left a few out there. I know I shot 66, but -- I didn't add it up, but I must have missed at least four inside 10 feet. So hopefully just go work on that a little bit and clean it up.

Q. After the success of last season do you come into this season with an added sense of confidence knowing that you've won, got to the TOUR Championship, you have a little bit of added sense of self confidence?

SAM BURNS: I think the experience, you can't really make that experience up without doing it, you can really create it in practice. So I think having that under our belts definitely helps. But I think the end of the day we're just trying to come out here and put ourself in a good position going into the weekend and so far we've done that and so hopefully we can just continue to play well.

Q. Right now you're three back, when you see three back but you also see also the number of players in between do you look at that as something different as just the number how many back you are or do you see the number of guys in between and think something different?

SAM BURNS: I don't really pay attention much to it. I mean, obviously, you want to be within arm's reach of the lead, but at the end of the day you just have to go out there and execute and whatever that is tomorrow, I know it's probably going to need to be pretty low, so we'll just try to go out there and attack the golf course.

Q. If there's one thing you want to improve on from the first two days over the weekend, what would that be?

SAM BURNS: Definitely putting. Yeah, need to putt it a little bit better.
