LOREN ROBERTS: I thought we just did this.
Q. Watson was talking earlier about‑‑ I don't know what, course these guys are playing, where are these birdies coming from; do you feel that way today?
LOREN ROBERTS: Yeah, I mean, even this afternoon it played harder for me than it did yesterday in the morning, obviously, but there were still birdies out there, double‑digit birdies, that's pretty impressive.
My personal feeling, I think you're going to see a much, much different golf course tomorrow. You know, the tees were up‑‑ they're up at 2, the tees were up at 17, the tees were up at 14 today, so I think you're going to see the tees back and tougher pin says tomorrow, I think you're going to see a different golf course.
Q. Is it starting to dry up and greens?
LOREN ROBERTS: Yeah, the fairways are drying up and running fast. The pins were tougher today, but I think the greens are starting to dry out some and downwind shots were a good skip and a roll. I think it's going to be hunker down time starting tomorrow.
Q. How well do you know Tim Jackson and how is your reaction to how he's playing?
LOREN ROBERTS: I know Tim socially, not golfwise, called him a couple times to play, but I know that he always seems to win the state amateur. He's been a Walker Cup player, Mid‑Am, couple times, I think he's making a run for Marucci. I think he wants to get on the team, doesn't he?
Q. That's the plan, yeah. Seemed like it got tougher today from 10 a.m. to 1:00.
LOREN ROBERTS: Yeah, it did. Had a little breeze.
The golf course was very playable today; it really was. I didn't hit enough great shots, very fortunate to get to 1 under today. I hit a couple of water balls and didn't strike as well today so I felt fortunate today. So I know there were still birdies out there.
Q. It's not really a U.S.Senior Open until the guys are cussing, though, right?
LOREN ROBERTS: Until guys are strenuously tested, yeah, probably.
Q. (No microphone.)
LOREN ROBERTS: Not even that much, really. The ball is zooming pretty good. The temperature is dry and it's warm and the ball was zooming good today. I was playing 7 to 8 more yards on my iron shots than I normally do.
