Q. Alvaro, your thoughts on your first top‑10 on the PGA Tour? A great week here at the Worldwide Technology Championship.

ALVARO ORTIZ: Yeah, honestly a great week from start to finish. Definitely did not have my best. I definitely made it work with what I had.

But I'm just really happy that although I didn't have my best, I gave myself a chance to get close to a title here on Sunday. I was close for a little bit. Bad swing and a couple missed putts kind of took me out of the tournament, but really happy with the way my game is going, it's feeling. Yeah, I'm really excited about Austin next week.

Q. You said earlier in the week that you were looking forward to going to your couch, but that will have to wait. You'll play for the third consecutive week on the PGA Tour next week

ALVARO ORTIZ: Yeah, really happy about that. Honestly, you know, that rest will have to wait a week, but I'm really happy about it. I'm really looking forward to playing Austin. I'm going to see a couple friends up there. I'm going to see Emilio, he's coming back, so really happy to share the golf course with him again. It's been I think over more than a year.

I'm stoked because I didn't have my best, and to be able to finish top‑10 just kind of tells me where my game's at, the team that I have and how I'm doing things so I'm really happy with the way things are going and I'm going to continue to work hard.

Q. This is the result of an amazing season on the Korn Ferry Tour to win No. 5 on the points list that really prepared you well to head to the PGA Tour, doesn't it?

ALVARO ORTIZ: Yes, definitely. And this week kind of showed me that you don't have to do anything extraordinary to win a PGA Tour tournament. I know these guys are good, but at the same time I feel like if I do my job, if I work hard and I play free and I give 100 percent out there, I know I have what it takes to win out here. So I think this week just kind of showed me that and just really excited.

I can tell you that I'm going to work really, really hard this offseason, prepare myself the best I can and give it a good go in 2027.
