Billy Horschel

Quick Quotes

BILLY HORSCHEL: As we've seen in the past few years. I know they've had some rain over the last ten days a little bit.

But the course is always in good shape, and they're going to do a good job and make sure it stays in good shape even though we're going to have some rain in the forecast later in the week.

Q. And the change on 13, do you have any insight into that?

BILLY HORSCHEL: It's exactly what I thought it was for me. The pin was front today, so I think I had like 215 front pin, but I had the ball well above my feet with a 3-iron. I think the tee shot is a lot easier, which is what I expected, for a majority of the guys.

As I've said in my quotes about it leading up to this, I probably am going to lay up all four days. I've said, if I don't have 5-iron or less to that green, I'm not going to go for it. I had 3-iron today.

So unless it firms up a little bit more or we get a little more helping wind off the tee shot, I'm happy just to lay up right in front of the creek and have a little pitch shot.

Q. How do you feel about your game coming into the week?

BILLY HORSCHEL: I feel better than I did probably three weeks ago. It was a good little match play that I had. Doing some really good work, and I feel the game's trending in the right direction. I've just got to get mentally prepared for this week and for the rest of the year.

First few months hasn't been great, but like I said, match play was a nice sign to see some of the hard work pay off.

Had a good prep week at home last week. Now it's just getting comfortable again being here.
