Adam Hadwin

TPC Scottsdale

Quick Quotes - Round 2

Q. How was it out there this morning and then in totality, another 66 for you out there.

ADAM HADWIN: Yeah, this morning was nice. That cloud cover is stayed a little bit warmer overnight.

We had a little bit of breeze it seemed like for 15 or 20 minutes. But it really wasn't too crazy. Definitely settled down from yesterday. Hit some good shots.

I would have liked to have made a couple more putts coming in. That's golf. Just keep plugging away. Keep hitting good shots. Keep trying to make putts.

So overall obviously in a really good position. It's going to be a fun Saturday here at the Waste Management Open with Scottie and Jon. Two of the best players in the game. So it's a big opportunity for me and one that I'm looking forward to.

Q. Was that putt on 12 sort of your alarm clock for the day?

ADAM HADWIN: Yeah, a little bit. I just, I hit a terrible bunker shot. The only thing going through my mind at that point was not blading it over the back of the green into the water. It's a terrible thought to have. But I haven't been -- the two bunker shots -- I had a bunker shot on 10 late in the day yesterday. Didn't hit it very good and kind of got away with. Yeah, kind of jolts you awake a little bit and gives you some confidence moving forward that I just need to give myself chances. That's what I did coming in. I made a couple of 'em.

Q. Do you feel like there's a little bit of an advantage for you having played a few holes and just get a little bit of an idea of the conditions or is it going to be completely different this afternoon?

ADAM HADWIN: Maybe from a golf course standpoint. But I think from a situational standpoint it's going to be very different. Like I said, playing with two of the best in the game right now and the crowds are going to be huge. They're going to be massive. Certainly not going to be pulling for me. And I don't blame 'em. So it will be fun. It will be a lot of fun this afternoon.

Q. What's next after you get done with this?

ADAM HADWIN: Probably just go have some food. Hang out. Wait for that tee time. I probably won't have to go through a full warm-up like I did this morning. But try and go through as much normal warm-up as possible. Kind of settle everything down and just get ready for this afternoon.
