Quick Quotes

Q. I've got two of the heavy hitters here on Friday. Brooks, we'll start with you. Great round today. It seems like you played with some confidence out there. Do you feel that way?

BROOKS KOEPKA: I just like the golf course. I feel very comfortable on the greens. I feel like I putted well. Ball striking was not there today, but yeah, just felt confidence on the greens. That's a big thing.

Q. Just looking at how you typically start your season, you tend to start it a little slow and then peak as the season goes by. Why do you think that is?

BROOKS KOEPKA: I don't know. I've been trying to figure it out for years, so if you've got an answer, let me know.

Q. Joaco, great round today. Bogey-free on a golf course like this. How do you assess your round?

JOAQUIN NIEMANN: Yeah, it was a good round. I felt like I played great pretty much all day, and I had a few stretches where I missed a few greens and I was able to make up-and-downs there, so yeah. Unfortunately I didn't make it on the last one, but it was a good day.

Q. You're one of the best drivers of the golf ball on the league. Not only are you long but you're very straight. Do you feel like that gives you a bit more confidence playing this golf course?

JOAQUIN NIEMANN: Yeah, definitely. There is a few tee shots that I think you can take advantage of it. We don't hit many drivers here, but when I do, I feel like I got comfortable on it and can get on an aggressive line.

Q. Torque, you guys are looking for your first win for a long time. Sebastian Muñoz playing some great golf. How much of that leaderboard were you watching?

JOAQUIN NIEMANN: Yeah, of course we're watching. We've been close the last couple weeks, so yeah, why not this week.

Q. Brooks, how confident do you feel defending your title here at Sentosa?

BROOKS KOEPKA: Yeah, I would have liked a little better round today. I think I would have felt better. Going to go to the range and figure out what's going on. If I can get the swing sorted, then I should be just fine.
