PGA CHAMPIONSHIPAugust 9, 2014Brooks KoepkaLOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY Q. (Inaudible)? BROOKS KOEPKA: You know, I got off to a good start, birdied 1, bogeyed 3, real stupid bogey, 3‑putted pretty close to the hole. And then got it going. Should have birdied 4. I was in perfect position to birdie it and didn't let them one go. Birdied 5, 6, stupid bogey. I made some really bad bogeys today. It could have been a real deep one. But it's fine. Got it going on the backside. I knew‑‑ I thought if I got it to 6 or 7 today, I might have a chance tomorrow. It is what is. I'm disappointed with that last hole to the make bogey. I bogeyed the last hole every day this week. It doesn't make dinner or lunch taste too good. Q. (Inaudible)? BROOKS KOEPKA: We caught a flyer actually on the left there on 18, is that where you're talking about? You know, I think we had 220 to the hole, just with an awkward lie trying to hit 5‑iron. I wasn't going to take a big rip at it. It just came out flying and I thought it was actually going to be over in that walkway. Luckily, it actually was a decent lie, but it's where everybody walks off. Everything is going right into you. Didn't commit to the shot, I guess, the third one. The fourth one was just an ugly lie. It wasn't good. As bad as it is, walking away with it from what I did is what it is. Q. How was the course compared to yesterday? BROOKS KOEPKA: I thought it was a little easier just because it was soft. You could throw darts at the pin, they weren't spinning back or they weren't going to bounce forward. If you hit a good shot, controlled the spin, you were fine. Wherever they landed is pretty much where they stopped. Obviously it made fairways a little bigger just because of the rain.  You weren't going to run through the fairway. Like I said, wherever it landed it was going to stop. Q. What about playing conditions? BROOKS KOEPKA: Playing conditions were good. We had downpour on 5 tee, we waited a bit. Other than that, it was good. For as much rain as we've had, the course is in good shape. They have done a good job. Q. Even though you are on the leaderboard at the moment, you don't think that's enough? BROOKS KOEPKA: I don't know where I am right now. I would assume it would be Top 20, somewhere around 15, 18 starting the day. If it's better than that, I would be happy with it. Just got to go fire another good one tomorrow, hopefully shoot 7 or 8 to try to catch Rory or whoever it may be. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
