Michael, a back 9:30 to surge you into contention here at the Wyndham Championship.
How have you managed to get better each and every round here at the, at Sedgefield?
Yeah, today was nice.
I made a few really long putts.
You're not gonna do that every day.
But, I'm, I'm playing solid, really hitting the ball pretty good and, and rolling the ball nicely on the greens.
And so just trying to kinda do a lot more of that tomorrow.
It's been great that my scores have gotten lower every day, and I think if I continue that trend, tomorrow will be doing all right.
This is not traditionally a bomber's golf course, and yet you've managed to turn driver into a weapon here.
How?
I don't hit it a ton.
I think today I hit it once in the front nine on the par five, and then I only hit it maybe three or four times in the back.
And so I, I'm not hitting a ton of drivers, but just trying to pick my spots where I can.
Like yesterday on 8, I hit driver, which I don't think, you know, many guys are doing.
But I've been hitting it really straight, which is very helpful.
You've been in contention the last three weeks now on the PGA Tour.
What can you draw from those experiences that could be beneficial for you tomorrow?
Yeah, it's, I think they're great experiences.
I'm, I'm glad I was able to go through those, and I think it's just gonna make me better tomorrow and in the future.
It's tough to stay where your feet are and stay present, and I'm gonna try my best to do that tomorrow.
How much is that sort of exacerbated tomorrow with all that's going on, trying to win a golf tournament as well as trying to shore up your playoff participation for the FedEx Cup?
Yeah.
Obviously, I would love to be playing next week.
I'd love to be playing at Atlanta in a few weeks.
We'll see if that happens.
I know if I win, great.
If not, I, I'll be all right.
Michael, appreciate the time.
Thank you.
