Quick Quotes

Q. What was the biggest difference between yesterday and today for you?

CAMERON YOUNG: I just didn't make much. I mean, I really hit it pretty well, I thought. I made a couple mistakes that hurt me, but I just -- it was windy enough that the good shots don't go to five feet today. And from outside of that, it's hard to make putts because it's just wind blowing it all over the place.

Q. Different wind direction today.

CAMERON YOUNG: Yeah.

Q. In your opinion, how did that make the course play differently than yesterday?

CAMERON YOUNG: I mean, it changes every single hole. There's no hole that played the same as yesterday. I'm trying to think. I hit -- on 15 yesterday I hit driver, hybrid over the green. Today I hit driver, 4-iron, 9-iron, still over the green, but that's one we know we can get there pretty much no matter what, and today there was absolutely no chance.

Just a bunch. I mean, it changed pretty much every tee shot. It changed the shapes we picked off the tee. It changed the clubs. Yeah, just a wildly different day.

Q. How much does that birdie on the last kind of make dinner taste a little bit better tonight?

CAMERON YOUNG: It definitely does. I was just trying to get it down there somewhere close, to be honest. I felt like I kind of hadn't -- not putted poorly today, but I just hadn't putted my best.

I knew that, if I had a four-footer coming back, I was going to be upset, and I think I probably hit it too hard anyway. But, yeah, nice for one to go in. I hadn't seen much go in all day.

Q. What's your mentality as you head into the weekend? What's one thing you need to really focus on to have success over the next two days?

CAMERON YOUNG: I just need to put it in play off the tee. I feel like I'm hitting it really nicely, and every chance I have to put myself in the fairway, even if it's 20 yards farther back, I think I'm going to take a lot of those chances.

I laid up significantly off quite a few tees today and did the same thing yesterday, and I think the more I can put myself in the fairway, the more I'm going to have control over the ball, especially in the wind, and just hit more greens than a lot of people and hopefully have more birdie opportunities.

Q. What does it say about your game that you've been able this year to play well on different types of golf courses?

CAMERON YOUNG: I don't know. Yeah, it's hard to say. I feel like a lot of people focus on me hitting it pretty far off the tee, and honestly it's something that we don't really think about. I mean, it's just kind of always a battle of how do we get it in the fairway? It's never going out there and trying to hit it as far as we can.

I think it just says that there's a little bit more to it than that, not only on my front but golf as a whole. There's a lot more to it than hitting it a long way.

Q. Do people maybe down play some of your skills with wedges and other parts of your game maybe?

CAMERON YOUNG: It's hard to say. It seems like every time there's a stat that comes up, that's the one that it is. I think you have to have a pretty well-rounded golf game to compete out here on any golf course, whether it's the widest course ever or the narrowest one.

Yeah, I think it just points to some progress that I've made over the last year or so.
