Bronte wants to be leading at the end tomorrow;

“I led from the start and I kind of wanted to continue that, so that was huge to keep that going.”

“That was really my goal when I teed it up on 18. I’m glad that I could finish the round that way going into tomorrow.”

“Obviously, winning is everything, right? that’s why we play this game. I’m going to do my very best to go out and get the win.”

Nasa was not worrying about her first bogey;

“I wasn’t thinking about where I was going to get a bogey or anything like that, so when it came, it came.”

 “Then I just cleared it.”

Two ladies are then tied in third place at -12 under, Brook Henderson, Canada, a magical -7 under 64 today, and Jennifer Song , USA, who carded a third round -3 under par 68.

Brook said you have to play smart in the wind;

“This year it’s a little bit windier too than it has been in the past and you’re getting a lot of roll around the tee and on the greens, too.”

“You just have to play smart around this golf course.”

Jennifer also mentioned the windy conditions;

“The toughest part about today was the wind was just switching here and there.”

 “It was kind of hard to make decisions with my club.”

Kevin shot a third round -1 under 69 to lead the Charles Schwab Challenge with  -9 under tournament total, a two shot 54 hole advantage. He said he has stopped walking in putts, since Tiger imitated him;

“No more for me for this week.”

“Blew up on social media, it was fun to watch.”

Jordan spoke about some of the long putts that dropped in for him this week;

“Out of a possible 1,000 feet of putts considering I’m 40 feet on every hole, so at some point some of them are going to go in.”

“Tee to green isn’t where it needs to be by any means.”

“It’s a work in progress, just as I said with my putting last year. So I have confidence in what we’re doing. It’s just about going out and trusting it.”

“I have no reason not to trust it. I don’t need to finish high. I don’t need to win. There’s no reason for me not to trust every swing tomorrow.”

Mackenzie has not taken in Kevin Na’s low scores around this track;

“Because guys don’t go super-low here, it kind of entices me a little bit because you think your way around.”

 “Pars are good scores a lot of times. So that appeals to me a lot.”

“I feel like I’m in control of what I’m doing, I’m not trying to get ahead of myself, I’ll just stick to my processes.”

Robert MacIntyre, Scotland, has second place at -8 under, with a third round -3 under 68;

“I just had to be patient early in the round again.”

“The wind direction doesn’t suit me on the first 12 holes so I’ve just got to hang in until late in the round and that’s where I’ve got to try and get my score.”

“It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do, win on the European Tour.”

“Now that I’ve secured my card for next season, it gives me the freedom that there’s nothing to lose so I’ve just got to get out there and try and get it.”

Bronte is in a fighting mood, carding six birdies and three bogeys;

“It was a battle, seemed to feel like every time I would make a birdie and try and build on it, I would have an unforced error couple holes later and make bogey and be back to where I started.”

“Mistakes happen, I’m just going to try to minimize that for the rest of the tournament.”

“I’m creating enough chances to where I can keep shooting some low scores.”

Jennifer was happy with her scrambling round;

“Overall, very happy with my round, I managed to make great scrambles here and there and just made a couple birdies coming in.”

“Very happy about my round.”

Jacqui partnerd Jennifer today, and they are good friends;

“Jennifer and I are good friends, we were just talking about it in the tent.”

“We fed off each other. She made a birdie, I made a birdie. She was making birdies on top of me.”

“I had a rocky start. I started with a bogey on the first hole and managed to come back with a birdie on my third.”

“Just while I was just struggling, Jacqui was having a birdie fest so I was just like, Wow, I need to keep up with her.”

Local favorite Jordan Spieth was at T5 in the group at -5 under par, with even par 70 today, and said missing some opportunities with the putter made the difference;

“I thought today was average; I thought yesterday was spectacular.”

“Today I missed maybe an 8-footer and a couple 5-footers, but then I made a couple long ones to make up for it.”

“They were kind of misreads. They weren’t bad strokes. That’s the difference.”

“It was just one shot at a time.”

“I think I usually play pretty okay on courses that are tough, I guess that suits me and I guess I’m a good wind player too.”

“I really just want to do my own thing and see what comes out.”

Romain feels comfortable in the windy conditions;

“I’m feeling good, that was a really good day it was really tough when I started.”
