Quick Quotes

Q. What are your thoughts overall?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: We had some wind today, but the course played the same. It's just a really good golf course. If you're not hitting it solid and where you want to hit it, it plays very difficult, which it did today for me.

You've got to drive it in the fairway, which I just didn't do. Then the few times I was in the fairway, I missed the green are wedges or short irons, and you just can't do that.

For today, the course played very difficult for myself, but luckily I chipped and putted very well and shot even par. It could have been a lot worse than that.

Q. Looking at the leaderboard, you're right in the mix on the player side and team side -- it's funny, looking at 10-under is the lowest team score after Day 2.

DUSTIN JOHNSON: Yeah, the course, like I said, is challenging. It's very challenging. It's not long, but you've got to place the ball. You've got to place it in the fairway on the right side, and you've got to control your ball coming into the greens and keep it underneath the hole if you want to shoot good scores.

I feel like I'm still right in the mix going into tomorrow. Our team is right in the mix going into tomorrow. I'm about to go to the range and get some work in.

Q. It's a great leaderboard. I think about for us, the broadcast, big names, major winners. Talk about what it's like on a Sunday to be competing with the best.

DUSTIN JOHNSON: Yeah, if you look at this golf course, I think you're always going to see that the best players are going to be at the top of the leaderboard. That's just how it goes. This golf course requires quality throughout the whole bag.

I think if you look at tournaments in the past, look at the winners and the leaderboards, you're always going to have the best players at the top of the leaderboard.
