Quick Quotes

Q. 7-under, 65 today. Tell me about your round?

PAUL BARJON: Yeah, great round. Started pretty good with four quick birdies and then, yeah, a little bit of a slow down here in the middle, six of the 18 holes and then a good finish with some good shots and good putts, so that was exciting.

Q. Playing with a familiar playing partner with Lee Hodges. What was it like having kind of that competitiveness going with your playing partner?

PAUL BARJON: It was great playing with Lee again for the third day. He played really good the first day, really kind of set the tone by making pretty much everything he looked at on the green. So that's always good to see and just kind of get inspired by that and trying to make as many putts as we could the last three days and we made quite a few, so we're going to try to keep it going tomorrow.

Q. What about conditions out there, you didn't seem that fazed with kind of the wind and what are kind of takeaways in going in for the final round tomorrow?

PAUL BARJON: Yeah, it was a little breezy for probably about 14 of our 18 holes and then it kind of died down a little bit at the end there. But downwind it's hard to stop the ball, so definitely you have to play pretty smart and we'll see what the weather has for us tomorrow.

Q. What brings out -- you two playing together, what helps you guys bring out the best in each other?

PAUL BARJON: I don't really know. We played on the Korn Ferry together and we ended up playing well as well a couple years ago, so I don't know. We're good buddies and I like watching his game and I guess he likes watching mine as well, but, no, we just kind of feed off each other, so it's been fun.
