Justin Leonard

JUSTIN LEONARD: Hit a good drive, pulled a 3-iron front left bunker. Pretty simple bunker shot. Had a good line and fortunately it went in.

JUSTIN LEONARD: It's a big help. That hole was playing very easy today. I think one of the marshals told us walking off the green that we were the fifth group in a row to make an eagle there. So it's a hole you expect to make 4 at and 3 is just kind of a bonus.

JUSTIN LEONARD: I feel like I am in good shape. Playing two solid rounds then shooting -- played -- scored a little better today than I did yesterday. I didn't hit it perfect out there, but in the spots where I didn't, I kind of got it around and made a couple of nice saves and finished off the day nicely birdieing 18.

JUSTIN LEONARD: Don't get me wrong, I am very pleased with the way I hit the ball, but I didn't hit it perfectly out there and I missed some fairways and fortunately I was in some spots where I could play from. But I hit a lot of good shots and better than I have hit it certainly since the Texas Open and so that's really encouraging and it all feels pretty simple right now.

JUSTIN LEONARD: To borrow a term from other sports, it was almost kind of a rebuilding year. Certainly the first half with the swing changes, things like that. I think that the last three or four months I have seen those changes start to pay off. I am probably swinging as well now as I have throughout the entire year and I am a little disappointed the year is coming to an end. It's a lot of practice balls and I am ready for the year to be over. But you know, it's nice to finish off the year on a good note and to continue to play like this the next two days, I will be able to do some stuff.

JUSTIN LEONARD: Looking back, if you just look at numbers, statistics from the last six years or whatever, it looked disappointing but with the things -- the changes that I have made with my game and -- I think it has been a pretty good year, and -- but I certainly expect better results next year because I should be that much more comfortable.

JUSTIN LEONARD: I am not playing any tournaments. I have a couple of corporate outings. Just some fun golf. A little bit of equipment testing, things like that, but just that, some relaxing.
