Quick Quotes

MARDY FISH: I knew I needed something in the even to minus 2, 3, something like that, to kind of -- I didn't look at a scoreboard at all today, which is rare for me. Usually I kind of like to see where my buddies are and stuff and see how everyone is doing. I kind of figured I'd just play well today and figure out the score when I'm at the end and shoot something pretty low and just stay in it. I don't know where I stand at the moment, but --

Q. You almost definitely have the lead.

MARDY FISH: I mean, I started four back of Mark, and he's a great player and can shoot something low at any time. So I thought if I could at least stay within five, four, three, something like that, something pretty low, and then 67 feels good. I left maybe one or two out there around the greens, but otherwise I had one bad swing, and that was it. It was good.

Q. How are you as a mudder?

MARDY FISH: I grew up in Florida, so I like the wind and that kind of stuff. I like to sort of hit shots, see shots, what they do and move it left to right and right to left, which is how I grew up playing golf. But it was warm always. Usually my body doesn't work quite as well, although we're all older now, retired for the most part, so most of us like it a little warmer anyway, so I think everyone will be in the same boat, not enjoying the cold. We'll see how cold it is, and we'll see how bad the rain is. We'll see. But everybody is going to play in pretty much the same conditions.
