Quotables

Fisk on entering the weekend tied for the lead… “It's nice to kind of see that a lot of the hard work that I put in the last month and a half or so's paying off, because the start of the year that I had, it wasn't exactly what I had anticipated. It's nice to be in a good position.”

Fisk on three Georgia Southern alums making the cut… “I think it's awesome. With Ben (Carr) being here on a sponsor exemption and Mason (Williams) getting in on Monday, honestly really happy for both of them. It's nice to have three Eagles in the field, I feel like that never happens out here. So really proud of both of them. I know that they'll both play really well this weekend and it's nice for all of us to still be here.”

Roy on his comfort level on this course… “I am comfortable here. I don't think my history here's very good, to be honest with you, but I've always liked this place. I've always liked Savannah, it's awesome, and this course is one of the better ones we play out here. So yeah, I knew I could play it, it's just kind of figuring out a good game plan to tackle this course. So far I've been able to do that.”
