What They're Saying

Brooks Koepka: "I felt like I was playing really well. I just wasn't scoring well. Too many double bogeys and being a little too aggressive. To kind of pull the reins back and play a little safer, play a little less aggressive, it's nice to see it kind of pay off."

Ryan Palmer: "The work I put in before the round on the putting green paid off. I've always loved this golf course. Something about these greens get me going. I just found it this morning [on the practice green], the ball position, the width of my stance, I think I found it."

Greg Own: "I don't look at past results. It means nothing. To finally hit the shots I want to hit, I just want to keep hitting them. Wherever it leads us, it leads us."

Ryan Palmer takes a share of the lead with his third straight birdie. #QuickHits https://t.co/Fl9k1bhEYt
