“[Staying calm is] something I’ve been working on, something I’ve been really going through in my life, is just trying to relax a little bit, take everything as it comes. If I play great, awesome. If I don’t play great, awesome. It’s just kind of where I’ve been at in my life and I’m excited to play great and it was really fun to play great, but everything’s going to be all right.

“I’ve just been getting in my own way for a long time. So this is the first kind of week that I’ve kind of let the chips fall where they may, so to speak, whether it be playing not so great or playing awesome, and it’s just been nice to be very free and very kind of carefree and just trying to do the best I can. That’s all I can do.”

Canada’s Adam Hadwin, the only non-American in the top-5, shot a 66 to move into second place after starting the day in a four-way tie for the lead.
