Quick Quotes

Q. Overall takeaways on the round, obviously finishing with a nice par save?

ROBERT MacINTYRE: Yeah, overall I think I've played well. Yesterday I struggled a little bit on the back nine. Energy levels started getting low because of the heat. Today we made a couple of poor bogeys around at the same time as yesterday, but you're going to have them mistakes. To be honest, overall it's been a decent two days.

Q. Just been a crazy summer and you've had a little time to rest up before the Playoffs. What was that process like trying to gear back up?

ROBERT MacINTYRE: It was good. I had probably about nine, ten days where I didn't touch a golf club after the Open, went back home, spent a lot of time with friends and family. Just kind of my normal chill-out. Then I came back out to Isleworth before the Wyndham, and obviously the Wyndham was a bit of a shambles with the weather, but it was a good kind of build-up for this. It got me knowing where my game was at and what I needed to tweak coming into these last three. I'm feeling good about the game.

Q. Just your position coming into the Playoffs, trying to make it to East Lake, what's the overall mindset knowing there's this marathon three weeks and trying to get yourself in position going into the last?

ROBERT MacINTYRE: Yeah, I'm not too fussed about East Lake. I try not to think about what's ahead and try and take care of myself. I think I'm in a very, very good position to make East Lake. I'm just trying to win this week, and then once this week is done, we go and try and win in Colorado. It's as simple as that. Every week we pitch up, we try and win the golf tournament, and if we don't do that, then finish as high as we can.

Q. What would it mean to you to make it as one of the top 30 with just how the season has gone?

ROBERT MacINTYRE: Yeah, to be honest, it's been difficult. The changes have been completely different. I thought it would have been a little bit easier, but it's been -- I've found it difficult. My girlfriend has found it difficult. Look, the golf doesn't change. Good golf, whether you play good golf on the PGA TOUR or DP World Tour, you're going to be at the top of leaderboards. It was just a lifestyle that was changing, and the culture is completely different. I think we've found a good formula for it now when we're trying to enjoy it as much as we can.
