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
