Quotable
“When I kind of got here this morning it was nice and calm out. The day turned into being pretty windy and kind of blustery out there. I was a happy to get started off well in the wind, and got it to a couple under through however many, five holes, and kind of set the tone for the rest of the round.”
–Kelly Kraft, Co-leader
“I just hit the ball really good. Felt like I kept it in front of me pretty good. Had a lot of control of where I was hitting it, which is really key with this kind of wind. Putted it nice, too. Every time I needed to make kind of a good par putt to keep the round going I did, so it was just a good day.”
–J.T. Poston, Co-leader
“I just played solid golf. Didn’t do anything spectacular. Didn’t hit any shots close. Just made a few putts and kind of stayed out of trouble.”
–Derek Fathauer, Co-leader
