Quick Quotes

Q. How would you assess the round?

ADAM SCOTT: Well, there was a lot of good solid stuff. I'm very pleased, really. I watched Keegan, he played beautifully today, and I was really just trying to follow his lead. He kind of had everything going the way he wanted, and most of the time he was teeing off first and I was just trying to follow.

Q. Did you guys kind of draft off each other a little bit playing out there?

ADAM SCOTT: I think I was drafting off him. He shot 6-under the front and was running. Sometimes it's good to see that and you can draft off each other, but also just to know that it's really out there. When you get off to a slower start sometimes, you can make the course harder than it really is, and Keegan made it look easy today, so I tried to take advantage of that, as well.

Q. Was this kind of an extension of what you showed last week in Memphis?

ADAM SCOTT: Yeah, I guess so. I think more than anything out of Memphis, I got some confidence out of having a result with maybe not my best stuff all four days. It is a nice feeling walking on to any golf course when the confidence is a bit higher, and I certainly felt a sense of ease with that today. So that was very nice.

Q. Momentum is a proven thing in these Playoffs, and you've been in every set of them. Obviously you know what you need to do to get to next week. Do you try to keep that at the back of your mind or is it front and center?

ADAM SCOTT: It's part of it. Last week I obviously had the same situation. I wasn't in. But I really focused more on trying to put myself into win a golf tournament last week and just play the golf tournament as usual, and that would kind of get it done. It made me only have one focus, and that was on the tournament at hand. I think that's kind of how I started today.

I've always prided myself on trying to win tournaments and managed to do that throughout my career, and it's been a while, and I'd love to get back there later this week, but we've got a bit of work to do yesterday.

Q. You are a proven winner at East Lake, as well. Keen to get back there I'm sure?

ADAM SCOTT: Oh, absolutely. No matter what, one of the beauties of the Playoffs is that there is enough volatility that you can have a couple good weeks and get yourself right in the mix. No matter where, if I was at East Lake starting 10 back or five back or six back, I'd be there thinking I've got a chance to win the whole lot.

I think that's a fun thing to think about. But in three more days.
