MARANA, ARIZONA
Q. Hunter, continued success in this championship and apparently against Richard Sterne. How pleased are you to move on to the next round?
HUNTER MAHAN: I'm very pleased. It was a tough match. We had to grind it out on every hole. Richard played pretty solid.
In the end, it came down to a couple little breaks. Luckily, I made two really good swings on 18 to close it out.
Q. Even though it's a new year, when you know you've had success against a particular person in this championship on this course, how does that help your confidence?
HUNTER MAHAN: I mean, you feel good about the course, but I'm sure he's extremely motivated to beat me. I had him two times coming into today. So I'm sure he kind of circled this and was amped for it. And he played great.
It was a tough match and went all the way down to 19.
Q. Another tough one on Friday, Graeme McDowell. Obviously you guys played a pretty epic match a few years ago. How excited are you to get a chance to get back at him?
HUNTER MAHAN: I mean, Graeme is a great player. Obviously very tough. It's going to be a battle. It's going to be challenge. I look forward to it. I'm excited about the opportunity. And I love playing in this event, so it will be fun.
