Quick Quotes

Q. Your first round here in 2017 that you ever played you shot 66. You shot 66 again today. What's your affinity with this golf course, have you grown to like it more and more?

SEAMUS POWER: Yeah, I've always really liked it. It's tough, but it's one of those tough courses that even if you hit good shots you can give yourself chances, and I think that's a nice combo. Some courses are just brutally hard and even from the fairway you can't get at pins. Here it's not particularly long, but it forces you to hit shots and you have to be on fairways and then you try to get after pins but if you miss it's big trouble. Yeah, I really like the course, got it going today and almost a really good one.

Q. Your proximity to the hole was the best this week of all four rounds for you. Did you notice that while you were out there I go, did you feel like you hit it close a lot?

SEAMUS POWER: Yesterday and today was good. A little loose. But the first two days was tough because it was very difficult. We played, I felt like that, what did we get, the late/early draw was kind of difficult. It was just tough to get much going. Over the weekend a little bit more consistent with the wind and a little bit with warmer. All in all a lot of good stuff and a step in the right direction.

Q. What's your view on your season so far and your progression, do you think this finish will give you a little bit more confidence going ahead?

SEAMUS POWER: Absolutely. Any time -- I'm not sure where I'm going to end up -- but hopefully I'll sneak a top 10 or top 15 or something, you got to play good golf, and that's a good sign. It was slow coming out of the blocks with a little injury in the off-season, but had some good little runs. Florida Swing has always been tougher for me, so to get some decent points here is going to be nice and a step in the right direction heading to Houston next week.

Q. Do you feel this might spark something?

SEAMUS POWER: Absolutely. Golf's funny like that. You get a lot of points in only a handful of your weeks, so maybe this is a start of a good run for me. Even if it isn't, it's nice to see the work you're putting in show up on the golf course, and that's also the most encouraging and can remove some of that frustration quickly.

Q. What's your plan to play after Houston?

SEAMUS POWER: Right now I'm going to play the next two and from there obviously I don't know. Hopefully I can play my way into Augusta, but right now I would play the Dominican the week after Augusta and then go from there. We'll see. Things can change fast in golf, so that's going to be the plan.
