McCants on the team's play:
"I'm glad the championship isn't over until tomorrow. Conditions weren't easy today, which contributed to some of our higher scores, but in golf you compete in difficult conditions sometimes. We're given another opportunity to put a nice round together and finish the year off like we should. A lot of good things can still happen for this team; there's a lot to play for."
McCant's on the final round tomorrow:
"Fox got off to another very good start today, which underscores how confidently he is playing right now. My expectations of him are that he will provide that same confident play tomorrow that the others can feed off of. Matt's been playing steady golf for us all year and I would love to see him finish the tournament tomorrow with his best golf yet. He is so dedicated, it would certainly be fitting if that were to happen. Eduardo and Daniel will rebound from today. Each of them has a tremendous amount of passion for the game and expect a lot of themselves. Hunter hasn't played his best this week, but I know he wants to post a good score tomorrow and finish the tournament the right way."
