Quick Quotes

Q. Talk about the shot on 17, making a hole-in-one on that hole.

SHANE LOWRY: Yeah, look, you go, you play this game, just special things happen sometimes. It's pretty cool to do it there, one of the most iconic holes in golf. Yeah, what can I say? It was a special thing to happen, and I'm looking forward to turning on my phone and seeing the messages I've got.

Not only that, it put me back in the tournament somewhat. So it was amazing. It's been a long day today, and I'm glad to make the call and finish well today. Played the 17 hole twice and did it in three shots, so it doesn't owe me anything.

I'm excited for tomorrow now. If it's a long day tomorrow, I can do something hopefully in the morning and finish it off in the afternoon.

Q. You obviously were close at the Honda. What do you feel like you need to do tomorrow to kind of continue that momentum?

SHANE LOWRY: I just think I need to hit more fairways. I don't think I'm hitting enough fairways. I struggled the first two rounds definitely. Today was better, this afternoon was better. If you put the ball in the fairway out there, you're going to give yourself chances. The greens are soft.

I'm not sure what the weather conditions are tomorrow, but like I said, hopefully I can get out there and make a few putts and make a few birdies and get another hole-in-one or something.

No, it's been one of those days where I look back on it, and myself and Bo were laughing about it. We've done some pretty cool things together, and there's another one to kind of chuck off the list. Yeah, it was special.

Q. Even though it's a long day today and a long day tomorrow, a few beers for that hole-in-one tonight?

SHANE LOWRY: No, hopefully tomorrow night. Hopefully celebrating something else. But, yeah, I'm going to have one tomorrow night.
