Hicks – “He definitely does some talking to his ball, and it has listened all summer long.”

Hicks – “No one harder on him than himself.”
Hicks – “The less talk that Jordan has to do, the better the shot.”
Roger Maltbie – “One thing I’ve marveled about this young man is his ability to bounce back.”
On Spieth’s par on 16
Miller – “That was a Tom Watson par if I ever saw one. That was an ugly par, but a gutsy par. One that wins championships.”

Miller – “If he lets this one get away, it’s going to be very expensive.”
Miller – “Stenson is called Mr. September. He loves this course.”
