    1. Momentum is a huge thing in golf, and I feel like I have it right now.
    2. That two-hour fog delay was very helpful, and it was really nice it laid down. So it definitely helped those last six, seven holes we played.
    3. I would say when I got my tee times on Tuesday, I was like, 'Oh, could be a tough draw,'
    4. We were definitely fortunate with the wind laying down. Overall a good round.
    5. Especially after such a sour taste last year in this championship, to have some redemption and win this again is almost surreal.
    6. The first one was amazing, and this one seems even better.
    7. Grand Slams only happen a few times. He's going to get it. He's the best player in the world. But today it's my day.
    8. I get it — they were rooting for Scottie.
    9. But I get it. Some of it's self-deserved. I did some unfortunate things last year that I really regret, and I've been sorry multiple times and I'm still sorry, so hopefully I can win you guys over eventually.
    10. New York didn't really like me — I love you guys.
    11. And then this one was a lot of redemption. Last year was so tough, a terrible year. I left this place in shambles, and it's amazing what a year can do. I'm leaving here this Sunday as a champion, and I'm just so blessed.
    12. The first one was kind of just the breakthrough of knowing I can do it.

    Scottie Scheffler
    1. He had some stones down the stretch. … Being in the arena is not for everybody, and I think it shows a lot about Wyndham, how he handled not only this golf course but I think the crowd today. And he is a well-deserving champion.

    Sam Burns
    1. I did everything I could to have a chance to win today.
    2. I would say last year at Oakmont I felt more I lost the golf tournament. I certainly don't feel that way today.
  4. US
    Xander Schauffele
    1. Everyone watching at home wants to see guys shooting in the 80s and doing crazy things. I get it. You know, it's once a year you get to see some carnage, and it's at a US Open. Try to embrace it as much as you can.

    1. If there's a course where you feel like you still have a chance if you're seven back going into the weekend like I am, it's definitely this one.
  6. CL
    Joaquin Niemann
    1. There was no people, obviously. No one there. I'm not proud of it, but yeah, sometimes all the expectation of trying to play well and things doesn't go your way, you get frustrated. And that was me there.
    2. All the frustration that came inside me and had my club in my hand, and I couldn't resist to throw it away.
