Quick Quotes

Q. Walk us through your round today and especially your three consecutive birdies, 13, 14 and 15. What was that like?

CASEY WEIDENFELD: Yeah, so as my first time here, I was a little nervous the first few holes, got a little jittery with the driver. So that was fun.

But coming down the stretch, I was just like, you know what, I kind of like relaxed and got it together a little bit. Hit like a great shot on honestly all three of them, especially on -- what hole was it? 14, I think. I thought I had a 2 to be honest with you, the way they reacted. I was like, I definitely just got an eagle. But it was really good.

Q. You thought you one-hopped the pin?

CASEY WEIDENFELD: Apparently it was two hops and then it hit the pin.

Q. It looked like the crowd faked you out.

CASEY WEIDENFELD: Exactly. I was like, is that in? And I thought it was. It's okay. It was a great shot nonetheless.

Q. It looked kind of like that moment you relaxed, getting out of the sand. Did it free you up knowing you were in this iconic spot --

CASEY WEIDENFELD: Yeah, I think I relaxed a little earlier than that, but when I made that par, I was like, okay, now we're going. We just survived this par-3. Honestly I thought the shot was fine and it went over the green and I was like, okay, I guess we're going to hit out of this iconic bunker now.

Q. Going through 13, 14 and 15, what are you feeling?
