Quick Quotes

Q. It was big crowd reactions wherever you went today. Obviously your group had a lot of attention. How did it feel out there for you for a second day?

COREY CONNERS: Yeah, I thought the fans were going to be out in full force today and they certainly didn't disappoint. It was a lot of fun to play in front of the Canadian fans. Something I hadn't gotten to experience really ever and it was pretty special. They were all cheering us on and it felt great.

Q. You're in a good spot to see the weekend, how does it feel to be heading toward the third round of the national championship?

COREY CONNERS: Yeah, it was certainly a battle at times today, felt like I played really well and didn't get the putts to fall when I needed to kind of in the middle of the round. But battled hard at the end to save myself from a few tricky spots. Happy to be around for the weekend. Feel like I've got a low one in me, especially today I did a lot of things really, really well. So feel like I can put it together and try and get myself back up the leaderboard.

Q. Does it feel a little bit like a major with the atmosphere and also the conditions that you faced today?

COREY CONNERS: Yeah, for sure. It's very challenging out there. There's a little wind blowing, the rough is very rough, so got to try and avoid that. Definitely major championship feel. This is a tournament that's a big deal to me and it's pretty awesome to see all the people and have the golf course in such great shape. RBC and Golf Canada have done a fantastic job setting this place up and putting on the event. So looking forward to a couple more days.

Q. Can you just remark on your pairing through the first two rounds, just what it was like playing with Rory and JT?

COREY CONNERS: Yeah, it was a lot of fun. Obviously two very accomplished golfers and two guys I've got to know a little bit over the last few years living in Jupiter, Florida. They, yeah, great guys to be around, a lot of fun to play with and yeah, hopefully get to play with them more often, it means that I'm doing something well.
