Q. Back‑to‑back 66s, a strong moving day. What's your assessment n your play today?

ALVARO ORTIZ: It was just a solid round, I think from start to finish was really good. Gave myself a bunch of looks and I took advantage of most of them. I felt like I did well. I wouldn't say I had my best but definitely I made it work. Just really happy with the things, how they went and the position I'm in tomorrow.

Q. A strong start to the round, a strong finish to the round, a very good round compared to the other two days when you were making most of your damage on the back nine.

ALVARO ORTIZ: Yeah. Today I think I got off to a much better start than I did in previous round, took advantage of No. 1 and No. 3 today. I played 3 differently today, I hit driver off the tee and it paid off. Just I think it was very solid overall.

Honestly, I did well, I've been swinging well, I've been doing my job and yeah, I feel like I've been doing the right things. Just really excited about the position I'm in tomorrow and I'm going to do my best and see what happens.

Q. You said No. 8 was huge to keep the round going. Tell me about that one.

ALVARO ORTIZ: Yeah, I feel I got a little lucky, I double crossed my 5‑iron into the bushes and it kicked out. I don't know how I didn't see it to be honest. I had quite a delicate chip and I hit a perfect ‑‑ I clipped my chip and I stopped it perfectly in the slope, it rolled down and it went in like a putt so that was a bit of a stolen ‑‑ stole maybe a couple shots there from the golf course. Yeah, that was really nice.

Q. Last one, heading into Sunday at 15 under, you'll be in great position tomorrow.

ALVARO ORTIZ: Yeah, I think it's a good position, but I know how good these guys are and I'm just going to try to do my best. I mean, I'm not going to try, I'm going to do my best and see what happens.
