Quick Quotes

Q. Well, Billy, as of now you trail Justin by three shots. Just got your overall thoughts on the week.

BILLY ANDRADE: Yeah, I played -- it was a hell of a week. It was awesome. I had Fluff on the bag. He hadn't caddie for me since 1988, my rookie year on TOUR. Just to have him out first time since last year at Dick's after his surgery getting his hip replaced, it was just so much fun to be with him and getting him around.

You know, it's funny, he doesn't see very well, but he is a savant when it comes what kind of shot do we want to hit, what putts. We were really -- we gelled really well this week. That was so much fun.

And, hey, I made a little run on the back nine and I didn't finish it.

15 I'm going for that green with a 3-wood and I didn't need to hit it hard, but I didn't need to hit it as easy as I hit it. It would've been great if it went in the bunker on the right, but it didn't. Ended up in the sand short of the bunker. I had a bad lie there and didn't hit a very good chip.

And then 16, I bogged it twice this week. I didn't make many bogeys, but I bogeyed 16 twice this week. There is a situation where you got to hit the green and maybe make birdie and put some pressure, but you don't know where you stand. You're just trying to shoot the lowest score possible.

And then 18 I was trying to hole that shot to tie from the front bunker. I hit a pretty good shot in there.

Not birdieing the two par-5s coming in hurt me. When a guy shoots 14-under for three days it's pretty impressive. He hasn't won yet, so it's a great win for him.

Q. Felt great being in the hunt on the back none though?

BILLY ANDRADE: Yeah, very comfortable. Very easy with Fluff. You know, I don't know, I didn't do much in the offseason and I didn't even know if I was going go to Morocco because my back was a little funky. My back ended up okay and I went to Morocco and played well there and I continued it here. It was really cool.

Q. What was your schedule look like coming up?

BILLY ANDRADE: I'm not playing Cologuard. Got a family birthday. But I am hopefully playing both tournaments in -- I don't think I'm in Galleri yet, but hopefully I can get in. And I think I got in Hoag hope. I think he may caddie for me again because he talked to Ziggy yesterday. I haven't talked to Ziggy since I left for Morocco. He was saying his rehab is not going very well. Maybe I'll have him for a few more weeks.
