Mixed Zone

Q. Pretty exciting way to end the round. Two eagles today. Take us through those.

DYLAN FRITTELLI: Not my best golf today at times, but I somehow threw two crazy hole-outs in there.

9th hole was a terrible tee shot. Hit it in the fairway/greenside bunker and had 45 yards to the pin. Just trying to get it up there on the green on 9 and it somehow went in. Really good shot. Hit it really well.

On 18, hit a great tee shot. Thought it would get up on the green, didn't get up. Had a tricky one from the Valley of Sin there but somehow made that one as well. The rest was a bit patchy but happy with the overall score.

Q. What is it about today that wasn't working for you?

DYLAN FRITTELLI: Just a couple of wayward swings. Forced the drive on 10. Snap hooked it to the left. Hit a provisional on the green actually. I know I had the length to get there. On the 12th, same thing, a little toe off the driver, went left on me in the gorse, made a bogey there. A few errors with the tee.

And then 17 was an almost impossible hole today. So 5 is worth almost par with the field.

Q. How much are you chasing today trying to post a number?

DYLAN FRITTELLI: Not too much. The wind got up there when I teed off, so it was pretty tough. I knew anything under par would be a decent score. If I broke 70, that would be enough to probably move me up five, 10 places, I would hope.

Guys out there are going to have it tough now. It's getting dusty and crusty and windy and dry. So hopefully the scores don't go too low.

Q. Where are you going to watch the game?

DYLAN FRITTELLI: Running back to the little players area there now. My caddie is sitting on the bench. Hurry up, hurry up, let's go.
