Flash Quotes

Q. Mito, tell me a little bit about your round today, what went well?

MITO PEREIRA: Yeah, really solid round overall. I played really good from the start. I just miss a couple putts in the front nine, but after that, just kept playing well.

Made some good birdies on the back nine. Almost made hole in one on I think 14, the par-3. So really happy with my game. I just want to do the same tomorrow and keep striking the ball really well.

Q. We were talking with everybody yesterday about having six Latin Americans here; first time ever.

MITO PEREIRA: Oh, nice.

Q. How good does it feel and how much do you support to each other?

MITO PEREIRA: Year, we're basically a team. We come from another part of the world so we come here and we just support each other. Try to stay sometimes housing, share housing.

So we have a really good relationship with everybody. Just happy to be part of it.

Q. And then Jaco .

MITO PEREIRA: Yeah.

Q. So your relationship with Jaco, how much it help you be here?

MITO PEREIRA: Yeah, I think it was mutual. We both kept feeding each other. Obviously he got here first. I turned pro first, I got to the Latin American/Korn Ferry first, so it was like we were all trying to feed each other.

And then when he got here and just played amazing golf, just see how close it is to get here.
