Q. Scottie, tremendous Sunday. What was working well for you out there today?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: I really haven't played that poorly this week. I actually played really good yesterday. I had a few bad breaks with mud balls, that probably cost me three shots during the round and definitely a lot of momentum. Today I got off to a good start, actually had a hole-out on No. 3 and just kind of got things rolling and played a good, solid round of golf.

Q. Can you walk us through the hole-out, I guess more specifics?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Yeah. Well, we had I think 108 pin. There was nobody at the green and I hit a good shot and it looked like it landed close, but we couldn't really see, couldn't really hear anything, nobody was clapping or nothing. So when I got up there, I was like, oh, man, it must have spun off the green. Then I checked the cup and it was in.

Q. Mentally, could you or did you wrap your head around the fact that if you won this week you would return to world No. 1? Is that something that was even on your radar this week?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Not really. I was just trying to show up and have a good round of golf. Rankings are great, it was definitely fun being No. 1 in the world, it's definitely something I hope to get back to, but it's not something that's going to occupy a lot of my thoughts.

Q. Where's your confidence level right now? Obviously you're playing next week as well in Houston?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Yeah, I feel good, game feels good. I hit it nicely this week outside of the few, you know, bad breaks. And a few things go my way, a few more putts go in, I could have been right in the tournament, but obviously Russell's playing great golf right now and hopefully he just continues to cruise.

Q. You were chatting a minute ago about an equipment change? Did you swap out a putter on Friday, is that accurate, or what was --

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Yeah, I went back to my old putter for the round yesterday. I think when I see so many putts go up to the cup and not go in, it was like, well, maybe I'll just make a change and see what happens. This is usually the time of year when I'll usually experiment with stuff. It's probably something I'll continue to fiddle around with, but I went back to something I'm really comfortable with and I putted well the last two days.

Q. When you said you went back to your old putter, is that the putter from earlier in the season --

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Um-hmm.

Q. -- when you won four times, won the Masters with it?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Yeah, it never goes too far away.
