Quick Quotes

Q. How would you assess the day?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: I put up a good fight this week. I felt like I could have done a few things better. But overall it was a solid week. I put up a good fight is how I would describe it.

Q. Were you seeing how the scores were going late in the back nine when Hideki was making a mess of things on 14 and 15?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: I didn't really see any of that. I just know how difficult it is to close on this golf course. There's a lot of water, and it's kind of like Sawgrass where it can be kind of tough to -- you can't really totally play it safe the whole time, if that makes sense. It can be a difficult course to close on.

I tried to make my way up the leaderboard, but I just wasn't able to do it. Really on the back nine I wasn't able to give myself enough opportunities I feel like.

Q. Obviously the BMW next week, I don't know if anyone in the field has played there. What are your plans as you move toward next week?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: We're going to head over there tonight. I heard we get golf carts tomorrow, so I'm going to enjoy that in the middle of the Playoffs. We're going to go play some golf tomorrow. I'll probably do a lighter day Tuesday and then I think we have a pro-am Wednesday. Typically Monday would be my light off-day. This week going forward with the carts on Monday, I'm going to make that my full day of practice and take a slow day on Tuesday.

Q. What was the last time you played golf at altitude?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: I actually played golf at altitude this summer. We were in Colorado. It wasn't competitive golf, but I do remember a tournament on the Korn Ferry TOUR we played at some pretty good elevation -- actually two events. One was near Denver, the other one was in Columbia. I've played at elevation before. It has its challenges but I have a system I like to go to and it's worked decently in the past, so hopefully it continues to work next week.
