Quick Quotes

Q. Jordan, let's just get some comments on your play up to this point.

JORDAN SPIETH: I had some sloppy bogeys on 8 and 9 earlier today, so this time around, I stood on the 8th tee and thought, let's just hit four good shots and try and steal a birdie by the turn. I was trying to slow play on 9 and not hit the putt. We knew they were going to blow the horn any second, and then it was time to go, so I hit it and hoped and I was just trying to get it somewhere honestly in a three-foot circle. It was pretty dark on the green.

Certainly fortunate there. I feel like I've had a few long ones go in, a couple chip-ins this week, and I really would like to tighten it up a little bit more and not rely on those.

Q. Just your mindset going into tomorrow?

JORDAN SPIETH: Same kind of deal. It'll be 25 holes today and 27 tomorrow. Similar type day. I'll try and go off of how I was feeling most of this round and where I've kind of made mistakes in some tee balls in this round in particular when I've been driving it so well and trying to make sure I'm energized, pushing off my right side a little better.

Q. How were the crowds out there today? Did you see anything insane?

JORDAN SPIETH: It was Saturday at the Phoenix Open. I think I had heard -- when I went home and when I came back, I couldn't come the same direction. The police officers had blocked it off, so I drove up and I said, how am I supposed to get back to the course. He said, we're over capacity. It's hazardous, so we've got to go through a different -- once he said that, I thought maybe we were in a little bit of trouble this afternoon, but we were on the front nine so it was a little less rowdy, and I heard they stopped alcohol sales.

Honestly, they were awesome. It was really cool actually to see that many people on the front nine. You typically just see them on the back nine here and then occasionally on 9 and a couple other spots. They were fantastic. Saturday is normally the big day, but I think with 27 holes tomorrow, we might see some more people come out than usual on Sunday anyway.
