What they’re saying

“I've also been a proponent of saying you can't really find it during the tournament week, but I found a little something in my grip yesterday that seemed to really help me get my hands more securely on the club. Struck it much better today. ... felt a bit lost out there at times yesterday, so today felt a lot better. Felt more in control of my game. You can obviously see that through the cleaner card today.”

— Scottie Scheffler

“The made-cut streak thing is a bit skewed these days. I think when you look at the signature event model, we have some cuts, but they're not really cuts in the traditional sense of how the Tour was for a really long time. You look at days like today. I had an awful day on the golf course yesterday all around, pretty much. So to come out to today, stay really patient — especially after not getting off to a great start — to stay patient, grind it out, put myself back into a position where I've put myself in contention from this exact position in this golf tournament, and it's one of those places you can get hot. That's what I'll be looking to do over the weekend.”
