LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY
Q. After a double‑bogey, you went four birdies in a row. Talk about that.
GRAHAM DeLAET: That was a nice stretch. I definitely needed it. I actually felt like I hit the right shot on 7. I just didn't really execute it, unfortunately, but I knew as soon as I hit it, it wasn't going to make it.
But it was nice to bounce back like that. I had a lot of other looks on the back nine, as well. A little disappointed on 18. My wedge kind of stuck in the ground a little bit and I wasn't able to get it up there.
It was a good day. I escaped the disaster that could have been. It was fun.
Q. You had to make a long walk back on 7. Was there a question about where the ball had crossed?
GRAHAM DeLAET: Yeah, there was definitely a question about it.
Q. And then you went through the whole back side, aside from those four that you had in a row, you had quite a few more in there; any highlights?
GRAHAM DeLAET: I just really hit good shots all the way. I was seeing the lines great and I holed in a few putts. That putt on 17, I couldn't believe it didn't fall. Fell left right at the end. I'm super happy with how I played, especially after being 3‑over through seven, I could see it kind of slipping away. You know, I felt like I've been playing so well and I knew that I had it in me, and fortunately I was able to roll some putts in.
Q. Looks like about 20 guys are within three shots here. Are you looking forward to tomorrow?
GRAHAM DeLAET: Yeah, I think it's going to be exciting. I'm going to definitely have to get off to a better start, but I think if I can get 3‑ or 4‑under through the first six or seven holes, anything can happen. I think it's going to take a low one tomorrow but I think it's definitely a possibility.
Q. Are you thinking that you had to make the big rebound after 7?
GRAHAM DeLAET: I was just trusting myself. It was a long walk. I walked that par 5 about three times, it felt like. I stepped on 7 tee and we had a really good number and I struck a nice 7‑iron and that calmed me down and I was able to hole that putt. I knew at that time‑‑ I figured if I could get it back to a couple under on the day, that I would still kind of have a shot. But the guys are taking it pretty low here, but at least I'm kind of still in the ballpark.
