Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: Welcome Sebastian Muñoz from Torque GC. Good to see you up here again. You didn't have quite the day today that you did yesterday. Tell us what was the difference out there.

SEBASTIAN MUÑOZ: The conditions were rough. I mean, the wind was completely different, holes were playing a lot longer. It was tough pins. Props to the guys that went low today because it wasn't easy.

Q. You and Mito are both up at the top of the leaderboard together and really pulling strong for Team Torque. You and Smash are kind of neck and neck. Are you looking more at the team leaderboard right now or the individual leaderboard?

SEBASTIAN MUÑOZ: Yeah, totally team. I saw my team had me covered today. I didn't have to do anything crazy at the end, so I focused on my own game, but it was good to see that the lads played good today.

Q. Are you doing anything to get ready for tomorrow?

SEBASTIAN MUÑOZ: We're staying in the house together this week, so it's been pretty easy. We talk about the round. We talk about plenty of other stuff, and it's been easy.

Q. How difficult is it to back up a round after going so low yesterday?

SEBASTIAN MUÑOZ: Yeah, really tough. I felt like my ball-striking was same as yesterday. I might have hit a few less fairways. Putts didn't go in, and that's a nine-shot difference. Yeah, it's pretty crazy.

Q. Then you talked about the house, all four of you guys are staying in this house?

SEBASTIAN MUÑOZ: Mito is not because he has his mother-in-law, but the other three are.

Q. How has that been this week?

SEBASTIAN MUÑOZ: Great. The vibe is great. We used to stay in houses together last year, as well, so everyone has kind of his role. Everyone knows how to be part of the community and not really be the center of it, so it's been great.

Q. What's your role?

SEBASTIAN MUÑOZ: I'm a listener. Some people like to vent out, and I'll listen and I'll try to help out a little bit.

Q. Who's venting?

SEBASTIAN MUÑOZ: It depends on the day. Everyone vents.

Q. When you're in the team position and you have different people that are doing well, do you strategize playing the course or is it always individual? Do you say, well, look, we're doing this, maybe you'll be more aggressive --

SEBASTIAN MUÑOZ: Not really. Everyone pulls for the team to do good and everyone tries to contribute with playing their best, but once you get to the course, everyone knows their game in an individual plan, you and your caddie kind of have your plan and you have your spots that you're trying to hit. So yeah. So there's no extra planning.
