Quick Quotes

Q. Your match ends on the 12th hole and you get into the field when Sam Burns decides to withdraw. Things worked out pretty well for you today?

MAVERICK MCNEALY: Yeah, I was home last week, really hoping I'd get the chance to play, preparing like I was going to get a chance to play and had a nice round today for sure.

Q. Tell me how you were able to dominate this match against one of the best players in the world in Joaquin Niemann?

MAVERICK MCNEALY: That's exactly right, he's a great player and he's the type of guy that he can rattle off five birdies in a row at any given time.

So I knew I had to keep the pedal down and hopefully ran out of holes before that happened.

Q. In a format like this there's so much more golf to play, but what sort of foundation does a match like this against Niemann build for you?

MAVERICK MCNEALY: It's really good. More than anything mental and physical rest, I think that's key. Hopefully, it's going to be a long week and I can keep playing well. I really like the way I struck it today, I think we have a really good game plan for this golf course. And it suits my eye. I noticed that immediately when I got out here on Sunday evening, before I was in the field, and I said I really hope I get a chance to play because I love the way it looks.
