Q. When you go into the weekend play in a major and you're a number of shots off the lead, what's the mindset, how do you stay focused, even though the conditions are better obviously than Friday, how do you get yourself motivated to come in and play strong?
JEFF MAGGERT: Well, it's easier to play when you're a few shots behind, especially when the course was susceptible to some birdies today. I just try to play aggressive. I knew Tiger was going to have probably an easy time today, just like everyone else. He had an opportunity to shoot a low score today and if he would have done that, we would have been very difficult tomorrow. But it looks like he struggled a little bit with his game today and there's some players that shot some good scores and kind of put themselves back with a chance to win. And I think tomorrow is going to be a similar situation. I was very surprised today with the golf course setup with all the pins on the front of the greens in soft conditions, those are the easiest pins to play at because you can hit it behind the hole and spin it back. And I'm sure you guys saw that all day long on television. Just about every single pin was right on the front of the green.
The golf course definitely played about as easy as it could have played today, when the greens are soft and the pins are in the back of the green forces you to hit it at least pin-high, and it brings the trouble in behind the greens. Today you could basically shoot right from the middle of the green, and spin it back right to the hole.
Q. In addition to all the great golf that you and Sergio and Phil played out there today, there seemed to be another story which was the crowd involvement. You couldn't get away from it when you were out there. Can you talk about what it was like playing with Sergio, who seemed to have more crowd involvement than anyone else out there and how hard it was to play in that environment?
JEFF MAGGERT: Well, Sergio put the ball in the fans court with his comments yesterday, but you just have to be careful what you say sometimes. Sergio is a great guy, and he's a great player and I thought he handled the crowds today magnificently. All in all the crowds -- the comments were typical, what you expect. But there was a few instances where he's actually trying to play his shot and someone's yelling something. And when that happens, that's overboard. I knew people were going to yell stuff when he's walking down the fairway and all that stuff. But for the most part today it was pretty well. Until you get to the 15th tee and you get in that area where all the crowds are and then some of the comments were pushing the limit, especially when he's trying to play the shots.
