Quick Quotes

Q. You seemed locked in until that last hole. Were you glancing at the leaderboard thinking anything could happen?

KEVIN KISNER: Yeah, for sure, man. Figured if I made that one on 18, put a little more pressure on those boys to get it in, so definitely not the easiest two closing holes to try to win a tournament on.

Q. Do you take a lot from this experience? You talked about trying to play this golf course a little bit better. You certainly did that this time around.

KEVIN KISNER: Yeah, I thought it was better suited for my game in May, just being firmer and faster. But this week with the soft greens, that helps me a lot because I have longer clubs in, but I know it's not going anywhere when it hits. If it played firm on the greens this week, I probably wouldn't have had as solid of a week.

Q. Little caddie change on the 5th hole today?

KEVIN KISNER: Yeah, I had a lot going on out there today. Went from not getting one yardage for 57 holes, 60 holes, to doing them all. Yeah, Duey wasn't feeling well. I didn't know he was feeling as bad as he was until I noticed he was even slower than normal. Hopefully he's feeling all right.

Q. Just a stomachache?

KEVIN KISNER: Yeah, stomach bug, something.

Q. How did John do?

KEVIN KISNER: John's a trip, man. Every hole, How far we got, pro?

Q. He's asking you?

KEVIN KISNER: Yeah, he's asking me. It's funny, it goes back to my college coach, assistant coach Jim Douglas, right out of college, caddied for me at Tour school, and that's what he said on every shot because he never got a yardage either. How far we got, bud? So I was laughing out there with him that I was doing all the work and answering all the questions.

Q. Kind of a big event; did that help maybe keep your mind off other things?

KEVIN KISNER: Well, there for a little bit it was a whirlwind because they switched kind of mid holes and a lot going on, try to figure out who had what information and who had golf balls because Duey does everything, we've been together 13 years, he's like my second wife who takes care of everything, and then I got the most disorganized human in the world caddying for me in John. It was quite interesting there for a few holes, but we kind of found a rhythm there in the middle of the round.
