Quick Quotes

Q. Shane, how would you characterize your moving day today?

SHANE LOWRY: It was pretty good. I feel like, without complaining too much, 65 is the worst score I could have shot. I hit the ball unbelievable today, and I didn't really hole anything. That putt on the last is probably as long as I've holed all day.

It was getting quite frustrating for a while, but I hit it in pretty close a couple of times and made a couple of nice birdies. It was really nice to birdie the last and get myself into double digits for the tournament.

Hopefully Patrick doesn't go too far away from me on the back nine, and I can have a chance tomorrow.

Q. I was going to say, when you make a statement like that where the scoring is as high as you could have shot, is that frustrating? Or is that a good thing to say because you know you played well?

SHANE LOWRY: It's a good thing, but it's frustrating as well. I feel like I could have shot two or three or four better today. But look, I would have taken 65 before I went out. Another Sunday in the position I want to be in, and I'm looking forward to it.

Q. How much, in your opinion, yesterday was obviously an incredibly tough day out here. How much easier was the golf course today without the 25, 30 mile an hour winds?

SHANE LOWRY: A lot easier. It was very gettable today. There was a lot of chances out there. Yesterday was just kind of one of those days where you had to batten down the hatches and make pars and try and make the odd birdie when you could, but it wasn't a day for firing at flags or anything like that.

Whereas today, I felt like any time you got a good number, you could really go at the flags, and I did, and I hit some good shots.

Q. I think I've asked you this before recently because you've been playing so well and you've been knocking on the door again for another win. How high is the confidence in your game right now? What will you kind of draw on tomorrow to try to bring home another victory?

SHANE LOWRY: Yeah, it's amazing. My confidence is pretty high, obviously. I've been thereabouts a lot of Sundays this year so far. The one thing that let me down at the Masters last week was my iron play, and I'm probably not far off No. 1 in the field this week in strokes gained approach.

It's funny how this game works. I putted great at the Masters. I didn't putt great today. I'm just hoping it will all click into gear tomorrow, and hopefully I'll have a chance coming down the back nine.
