Quick Quotes

Q. You started the day on 3-under par ten behind the joint leaders, needing something super special to get in the mix, and you got it. How does that feel?

BILLY HORSCHEL: It feels really good to play a good round of golf today. Should probably have been three or four better, a couple bad bogeys, still sloppy mistakes I'm making after being a month off. I missed a couple putts that I wish I would have had back, but overall, 6-under any day, you'll take it.

I needed something. I would have loved to get eight, nine. It was a goal today to try to get to 12-under to have an honest chance if the leaders shot 3- or 4-under today. See where it puts me. Hopefully the wind picks up a little bit and makes it a little bit tougher.

Q. Saturday is known as moving day. Guys in your position often go out and play more aggressively. Did you do that?

BILLY HORSCHEL: No, I don't really play more aggressively. I just try and play the same game plan I always do. Try to execute a little bit better. I try not to push too hard. I found that when I do that, I wind up shooting bad numbers and I get more upset and more frustrated that I just didn't play my game.
