00:00John thanks for joining us you came off the course yesterday feeling you left one or two out there in a 66 give us your
00:04verdict today on a 65
00:06Could not be any more opposite of a feeling. I don't think I could have shot any lower today
00:12maximized the round
00:14wasn't my best of the tea, but I
00:17Was able to actually get some birdies out of some not so good situations
00:22I didn't hit any for any of the fairways in the part fives and still played them three in the park. So
00:27I'm
00:29Hoping come tomorrow. I can be a little bit better off the tea and still keep, you know
00:33The good iron play in the good putting on three previous visits here two wins and a fourth
00:38You got a stroke average of sixty seven and a half on this golf course, which I think is pretty difficult by the way
00:43What is it about this place that allows you to play so well all the time? I don't know
00:48And I hope I never find out so I just keep coming here with a good vibe the second, you know, it's it's gone
00:54I I just like the golf course. I think visually it fits my eye and it's very very tailored
01:01Probably because of the man who designed it for for people whose strength is ball striking, right?
01:05It's if you can obviously length is always helpful, but more so in this golf course
01:10It's a couple bunkers
01:11That I can cover that a lot of us can cover that people like I played today with Campillo
01:15It was not a short hitter that he just quite couldn't quite cover, right?
01:18So that changes a lot
01:1915 being in a perfect example of it in a great drive and I have 30-yard pitch out to the pin today
01:24And he had to lay up
01:28Long part threes long part fives. I mean, it's
01:31Yeah, I think it's just visually. I like it of the team and
01:36luckily
01:37The tea game is the strength of my game, right?
01:40So I think that's I've put myself in position enough of the tea here that you know
01:44I can make a lot of birdies
01:45How much you looking forward to the opportunity tomorrow to win for the third time be the first man to win this championship for the
01:50third time
01:52Well, I'm really looking forward to it. You know, it's
01:55It's a demanding golf course. I think the weather forecast is similar to today, which you know
02:00It can't be a good thing on a tough day, and I've had some good Sundays out here
02:04So hopefully I can tidy up the mistakes of the tea and have a smooth round like I did yesterday
02:10Appreciate your time as always well play today. Thank you
02:15You
