Q. In the weekend, third round, what did you like about your round today?
PATTON KIZZIRE: I liked my putter today. I've been struggling on the greens the last two days and today I freed it up and started seeing it go in. It was a lot more fun on the greens today.
Q. Were there any specific things you've been working on or switching or changing with the putter?
PATTON KIZZIRE: No. I've used the same putter forever, can't get away from it. I've worked hard on my putting with Ramon Bescansa, but I feel like I've been trying too hard. Today I was like, well, that's not working, so we'll try a little bit easier and see what happens. It was a good day.
Q. Past champion of this event but a little bit different, a new course. What do you like about this course?
PATTON KIZZIRE: We're still in Mexico, Paspalum greens, Paspalum golf course, hospitality's great. I like the vibes in Mexico. This is a beautiful spot, the golf course is fun to play. Lot of guys playing from the fairway, but it's all, you know, won and lost with who can knock it close and who can knock it in the hole. So 9 under today and knocked it in the hole today.
Q. With a big week this week, is there extra kind of motivation for last couple of events in the FedExCup fall and where you're standing?
PATTON KIZZIRE: Yeah, certainly, I'm not in the position I want to be in, but I'm just being present. It's been something I've worked on recently, just being where my feet are and executing what I'm doing right now and not getting ahead of myself. Yeah, it's always there, but I'm doing a good job of staying in the present.
Q. Another past champ, Kuchar's going low, but what will be the key for tomorrow's find round?
PATTON KIZZIRE: Just stick with my game plan like I've been doing. Really enjoyed playing this golf course, feel like I've -- the wind's been pretty consistent so a lot of guys are learning how to play it. Go out there and play it again and see if I can execute like I've been doing.
