American Kwon fires back to steal lead in Qinhuangdao

Quotable

"I was hitting it pretty well off the tees and keeping it on the fairway. Also, my irons were really good today. I gave myself a lot of birdie looks and putted it really well also." – Matthew Negri

"It was a little calmer this morning [compared to yesterday afternoon] and I was able to get some birdies early to get me going, and then then the putter was pretty good on the back nine." – Matthew Negri on the weather

"My goal this weekend is to just forget what happened last week and worry about this week and stick to the same plan." – Matthew Negri

"Today my irons were the best part of my game, especially on the back nine. It gave me a lot of opportunities to make birdies." – Weihsuan Wang

"Today, I felt pretty cold at the first tee, and I didn't hit my first shot well. But my second shot was great, and I cut it into close to 10 feet for a birdie, which gave me a lot of confidence. After that, I gradually got the momentum going." – Weihsuan Wang

"I just turned professional this year, and the Qinhuangdao Championship is just my second professional competition. I will focus on the PGA TOUR Series-China, but I still need to play Monday qualifiers here so I really hope that I can get a good result here and hopefully make the re-shuffle into this Tour." – Weihsuan Wang

"It was definitely way more scorable today. For us, it was calm this morning and the tees were up, so I felt like it was easier. I just made a couple silly mistakes. I made bogey from 100 yards to a bold pin on hole 16 and just didn't make as much. Yesterday I made everything I looked at." – Myles Creighton

"You certainly can't win it on Friday, so (I'm) just hanging in there and I've had a 6-under here already. I like the course, it suits my eye well so I feel good heading into the weekend." – Myles Creighton

"I got a little taste of being up on the leaderboard last weekend with some of the cameras and some of the big crowds and stuff, which was fun. Hopefully I can learn from that and try to do a little bit better this time around." – Myles Creighton

"On 18, I made an eagle but it was nothing too exciting. I hit it down the left side in a perfect spot, which is kind of where you want to be so you can see the green. I hit a 6-iron to about six feet and was able to make it, so that was the only real excitement of the day." – Myles Creighton
