Quick Quotes

Q. (No Microphone.)

JOSEPH BRAMLETT: Yeah, it was cold, it was wet, it was windy. It was Pebble Beach.

Q. Is there an art to watching a leaderboard?

JOSEPH BRAMLETT: Not that I have discovered, no. I just play. I mean, we were on and off and on and off. And, yeah, that's just going to be part of it this week. So leaderboards are too hard to keep track of. Too many different golf courses for me so I just play.

Q. You come in now and there's a lot going on. So now you can, do you relax at all?

JOSEPH BRAMLETT: Yeah, yeah. We got a little time off now. It hasn't been much rest all week. So, yeah I'm definitely going to take me a little nap and rest up for this afternoon.

Q. You parred the last one?

JOSEPH BRAMLETT: I parred 18, yeah.

Q. How important was that as a par, as pars go?

JOSEPH BRAMLETT: It was just another hole. 18's a reachable par-5 and I just missed the fairway off the tee. So I was in the rough, had to lay up. Then I hit a really nice wedge and a really good putt that just didn't drop. But, yeah, I mean it was fine to get in with a par. I didn't set anything on fire this morning, but just kind of kept plodding away.

Q. It almost looked like it was a battle for you.

JOSEPH BRAMLETT: It was. I mean, we started right at 8 a.m. and conditions were pretty good. Then next thing we know like 10 minutes later it started raining. Then it started hailing. Then like play got halted awkwardly. But then we had to putt out and wait on the next tee. It was just on and off.

So like I said, it's Pebble Beach, it's the beauty of this place and, yeah, we're just going to keep competing.

Q. How easy is it to maintain your composure under those conditions?

JOSEPH BRAMLETT: Well, that's the name of the game. I was talking to somebody yesterday and I just, I think this is when the real golf comes out. In the era of Trackman golf, when the weather gets weird, there's a lot of things going on, this is when you are really tested. So I think it's an awesome competition test. Just that internal struggle you go through, you got to stay in it. That's what we're getting tested on.

Q. Is it going to be a little better in round 4 without the amateurs around? Quicker play, obviously.

JOSEPH BRAMLETT: I don't know. I mean me and Gareth had a great time together. We were definitely vibing. I was feeding off of his short game. The man chips better than any pro I've ever played with. We were joking all day. So we had a really good time. But, yeah, I mean it's a PGA TOUR event, the Ams are out and now it's time to go compete.
