Solid play again by our top three leaves them in the top 16, and this is a great field to be sitting there with one round to go. Excited to play again tomorrow. we’ve left ourselves in a good spot. This is a course that can open itself up to some birdies and we hope the putters get hot overnight and we finish on a good note.”
