Quick Quotes

Q. Justin, even par-70, going into tomorrow with a chance to win. Just a comment on your round.

JUSTIN SUH: I thought we hit the ball great today. We were putting it in the fairway, hitting greens. The hole looked pretty small today. Couldn't make any putts. I was hitting it with good speed and just kept on reading it wrong. I thought I was hitting good strokes. On the last hole I don't even know what happened. Felt like it hit something.

But there's always tomorrow, so we'll try to have a better putting day tomorrow.

Q. What did you hit for that eagle?

JUSTIN SUH: I hit an 8-iron. Just cut off an 8-iron. It was in off the left and it came out great. I was asking for it to sit. My caddie wanted it to go, and it was right in the middle, so it was perfect.

Q. Obviously that got you back on track. It was kind of -- were conditions that much harder today for you?

JUSTIN SUH: Not really. Like I said, we had some opportunities, and I just couldn't make a putt. Fortunately I holed out or else I wouldn't have had that birdie. But I thought we hit it great, but definitely need to putt it better tomorrow.

Sometimes it's like that on Bermuda greens. Sometimes you see the hole and sometimes you don't. We'll see tomorrow.

Q. Unfortunately that's the way this game is.

JUSTIN SUH: Yeah.

Q. What was the element today of just kind of hanging in there? The putts weren't going, as you say, but you were hanging tough, making pars.

JUSTIN SUH: Yeah, I wouldn't say we're like hanging in there. I thought we were playing pretty consistently. Like I said, we hit fairways and greens and just couldn't make a putt for birdie. Obviously that last one stings, but I don't even though I hit a bad putt. I just think it hit something and just went right, and the shadow, you couldn't really see it that late in the evening. I don't know, we'll see tomorrow.

Q. There's a couple young guys on that board who will be chasing a first TOUR victory tomorrow. Can you speak to the opportunity that's out there for you?

JUSTIN SUH: It's a great opportunity. This is a historical event. I think we're all looking forward to chasing that win.

But I think overall we just have to stay consistent, like what me and my caddie are doing. I think just trust the process, hit good shots, execute, and hopefully make more putts.
