What They're Saying
Tiger Woods: "I didn't play very good today at all. Unfortunately, I can hit it either way because of this move we're working on. But it's so much more flush, and so much more solid and a lot easier on my body. I was going to go through this phase and stick with it. And some of the shots I hit were really, really good, but then I also had some really bad shots too. And we need to work on that too, and omit the bad ones."
Jordan Spieth: "[I was] just kind of compounding bad breaks, which led to six shots on that hole, where really it should be four. Kind of a tough finish to swallow after such a great round of golf."
Hideki Matsuyama: "To be honest with you, when I made the turn at 4 under, I was just trying to hold onto 4 under. And then to make a couple more birdies, it was a real bonus."
