PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA
Q. That third shot, Ryan, from the fairway at 18, what were you thinking as it was in the air?
RYAN PALMER: I thought I flagged it, I really did. I was posing on that one. I knew it was a little right‑to‑left and not helping but the yardage we had with the wedge that I had in my hand, I thought I hit it tight.
But you know, unfortunate to make bogey there. But I tell you what, I'm so proud of the way I just stayed quiet with myself, calm, slowly walked all day, hit the ball really well, putted really good, and I gave myself a chance. That's all I can ask for.
Q. They saw knowledge is power, the manual scoreboard coming down 18, I know you thought you hit it good.
RYAN PALMER: I did. I was posing pretty good on it. I guess there was a little more hurt than I thought James and I talked about. A little misfortune there, bogey on 18. The tee ball, I could get home in two easy, just flare it right. James told me on the last putt, he made double, so I had to buckle down and make that one.
I'm proud of the way I hung in, fought. I was calm all day, relaxed. Never got hurried, tight, nervous and made some good putts. See what happens. But I'm just proud of the way I handled myself today.
Q. Crazy things are still going to happen, but I thought tee‑to‑green you struck it beautifully today and just a couple of putts, you put yourself right there.
RYAN PALMER: I really did. I didn't hit the ball as well yesterday but I putted great yesterday and I knew if I could bring that putting today and hit it good, I would have a chance. Fast start was nice and kept me going.
But just a little misfortune on 16, making bogey there. Hit a pretty decent shot and tugged it a little bit, carried it a little bit more and tough lie there, and of course the bogey on 18. It's tough out there but I'm happy today and I'm pretty excited the way I'm playing.
