What They're Saying
Jaco Van Zyl: “Today was really a phenomenal round. I felt really comfortable tee to green and made a couple of nice putts. I hit it really well; I think I missed one fairway, hit 18 out of 18 greens, and made a couple of putts when I needed to.”
Maximilian Kieffer: “It feels amazing. I don't really expect it to be honest to shoot that low, but obviously the course played a little bit easier today. I feel like I'm good enough to win. I think I learned enough in the last two tournaments where I was in the final round with a chance to win, but we will see.”
Victor Dubuisson: "I think tomorrow I will need a very good start if I want to have a chance. think you need to be two or three under par after six or seven holes because when you start the back nine, from 12 to 18 it's really difficult to make birdies."
