CARMEL, INDIANA
Q. Just one bogey. Well played.
ADAM SCOTT: I played well again today, and obviously to have any chance to contend tomorrow I had to make some sort of a move, and it all kind of came together around the turn, and I played fairly solid. Disappointing to drop one coming in because I'm making a habit of that, but I picked one up on the last, and that was important.
Q. Around the turn is where this course needs to be gotten, doesn't it?
ADAM SCOTT: Yeah, it is. If you're hitting good shots, at the moment with it so soft, you can get this course. But around the turn is a big opportunity. You can get a couple looks at eagle. They didn't go for me today, but two‑putt birdies always help.
Q. Â Your iron play had to be stellar because you only made one 15‑footer all day.
ADAM SCOTT: No, it's been really solid. It's been good all week and last week, and today is the first day that I've gotten any rhythm with the putter, and it took missing a few greens early on and I had to scramble to actually make some putts. But that was kind of a blessing in disguise, I think.
Q. This ought to be a fun Sunday, huh?
ADAM SCOTT: It's going to be, yeah. The crowd is pretty rowdy, and it's an incredible leaderboard. It's going to be fun. I'm glad I put myself in this position.
Q. Just talk about your round.
ADAM SCOTT: I played well again. You know, I putted nicely today for the first time in a couple weeks, and it took missing a few greens early on and me having to chip and putt and actually have to make a couple putts, and I got going with it, around the turn made some nice putts and left myself a lot of chances. But I needed to do something today to even have a shot at being in contention tomorrow.
Q. What do you make of these last two, three weeks where it almost looks like a golf all‑star game on the leaderboard? It seems like it's been that way a lot.
ADAM SCOTT:Â Yeah, I'm surprised it hasn't been more like that, but I guess it's an important few weeks bunched together, and seeing how motivated everyone really is to make the run to East Lake.
Q. (Inaudible.)
ADAM SCOTT: I'm hitting the ball beautiful. I have for a long time this year. But everything else today, I hit some great shots with the irons, some long irons, some 3‑woods into greens, on 11, and it was just really solid stuff, which is a nice way to play. If I can do it again tomorrow, if I'm going to give myself a chance, I'm going to have to go really low again.
Q. Talk about wanting a win and being in position to get it.
ADAM SCOTT: Yeah, I'm not in the best position, but coming from a few back seems to be the way to go at the moment in golf. You never know, if I can get off to a hot start and put myself in the mix, there are opportunities out there. We've seen a bunch of 64s made or even lower.
Q. (Inaudible.)
ADAM SCOTT: I hit a 3‑iron into 15 that actually ended up missing the green, but it was just a beautiful shot. It pitched right next to the hole and just kind of kept trickling and dribbled all the way down.
