LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY
J.B. HOLMES: I needed that finish for sure. Got off to a really, really rough start early. Just putter left me for a few holes and misread a couple of short putts and raining, before you know it I was 5‑over. It was good to be able to finish strong on the back.
Q. How much was a factor was the weather?
J.B. HOLMES: I mean, it was definitely a factor. It's harder to reach the lies on the grass and sometimes in the fairway, it sticks in the ground a little bit more.
When it's raining, it's a little bit more difficult. Right now it's not too bad. Hopefully the afternoon guys will get a little rain on them too. We had about nine holes of it.
It's definitely a factor. Still some people that played okay out there. You can still get it.
Q. Did you make any adjustments? What was the biggest difference for you?
J.B. HOLMES: I started making some putts again. I had some good opportunities on the back, and I made them. And just starting out on the front, I missed a short putt on‑‑ just missed a few iron shots in the wrong spot, got a couple of bad lies misread a couple of short putts and it can get a way from you real quick.
Q. Was the putt on 2 just a momentum turner?
J.B. HOLMES: That definitely helped, helped to get it together. Probably the biggest putt, I made a 15‑footer on 6. I was sitting there at 1‑over and I had 15‑footer for par. If I miss that, I go to 2. I made that and was able to birdie the last three. So that was a big putt for me.
Q. Does it start to weigh on you after the back nine that you might not make the cut?
J.B. HOLMES: I mean, you think about it when you start getting a couple over. I knew I had a few to play with. I'd rather it gone the other way today. But I knew I could put a good score up on the front. I thought even was the number, when I turned I was at 2‑over. I definitely thought I could get 2 on the front and ended up getting 4. Take that for sure.
