Quick Quotes

Q. How would you describe that round?

XANDER SCHAUFFELE: Not good enough.

Q. Can you expand on that a little bit?

XANDER SCHAUFFELE: Yeah. Shoot, I missed two short putts coming in there on 15 and 18 right there. I look up at the board and if I made those two like I normally would, I would still -- I wouldn't have gained anything on the leader. So not good enough.

Q. Do you look at -- like, I know Viktor's not finished yet, but do you look at him and know that Rory was able to come back from six shots last year, knowing that you still have a chance if you go out and go low?

XANDER SCHAUFFELE: Yeah, I'm anticipating this to go to seven. He'll probably birdie or have an eagle look on the last, based on what I'm looking at right now. So, yeah, I mean, I know what I need to do. I need to go out and try and put as much pressure on him tomorrow on that front nine as I can and hope for the best.

Q. What do you make about what he's done the last two weeks, Viktor?

XANDER SCHAUFFELE: He's just playing unbelievable golf. He's been working really hard. I saw him working hard through the playoffs there. I was out late and he was one of the guys I always saw until dark as well. So, no surprise.
