Quick Quotes

Q. All right, an even day for you, but just overall how are you feeling after this second day of delays?

DEWI WEBER: Oh, I feel fine. It was a bit of up and down today. I think if you look at the scorecard you can see that, so...

But I bounced back couple times really well. I lost my confidence a little bit because it was a bit gusty; I hit four shots that would just go too far because the wind would die down, and then like that messed with my confidence a little bit like hitting those shots again.

But overall I think I came back pretty strong. Yeah, ready for tomorrow.

Q. Not a lot of people are going super low. Not really anyone is getting themselves out of it. To still be in the top 10 right now, even with an even par day. How does that feel? I know you just sound surprised there, but how does that feel for your confidence even if you're not playing at your absolute best with the winds kind of gusting later in the afternoon?

DEWI WEBER: Yeah, I mean, I saw it a little bit because you have the scoring every five holes or so, so it's like it's like, Oh, cuts going up. That's weird. Then I realize probably other people are feeling the same way I am right now. (Laughter.)

So, yeah, I mean, that definitely gives me confidence, and knowing that there is only two days left, I know the weather is going to be a little bit more crappy for sake of a bad word.

But, yeah, we'll just do the same thing we did today. Maybe get a little bit more lucky breaks every now and then, but I think overall game is good. Going to hit the range a little bit and do some lag putts. That can definitely improve. I think we're in a good spot.

Q. Are you a leaderboard watcher?

DEWI WEBER: No, not at all.

Q. So when you see it, is it more kind of mentally you have to reset yourself after seeing it?

DEWI WEBER: So this is going to sound dumb, but I deleted all social media. I haven't really looked at leaderboards at all because I thought it would freak me out. Considering the spot I am right now like probably it wouldn't really, but I know from experience like if I were on the cut line that's just going to -- I mean, it's not going to freak me out, but it gives me extra stress that I don't really need. It's not going to be helpful for me at all.

Q. Yeah.

DEWI WEBER: So, yeah. To answer your question, it doesn't really like do anything to me right now. It's just a little surprise when I saw the cut go up, but that was it.

Q. When you say you deleted your social media, did you delete the apps going into Q-Series?

DEWI WEBER: Yeah, yeah, I deleted the apps going into Q-Series. I still have social media. I'll be there on Monday again.

Q. Have you done that before where you need that kind of...

DEWI WEBER: I played really poorly in Stage I my first day, and I was speaking to my roommate that week, Karen Chung, and we were both were like, We got cut the shit out, so we just deleted everything that had to do with like Symetra Tour or like Q-School or whatever.

So social media was part of that, and I thought that was super peaceful for me. Not that like, again, I don't get that freaked out, but it's just like now I'm being more productive with my evenings. I'm actually winding down. I'm reading a book for God's sake, like stuff like that. Or like, Oh, this is probably really good for me to do, because I'm on my phone less, which is always a win for me.

Q. I was going to say, is that the first time you've really made that kind of effort when it came to grinding for an event like this?

DEWI WEBER: Yeah, for sure. Yeah. My prep was also a little bit different than for a regular event. I mean, it's a stressful event, so like anything I could do to keep the stress off basically I tried to do.
