U.S. AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIPAugust 20, 1996Jay TewellCORNELIUS, OREGON STEVE MELNICK: If you play the game of golf you know the name Tewell. But usually it's Doug Tewell, to my left. The winner of four events in the PGA Tour. But in the spot light this week is Jay Tewell. Jay, terrific rounds of 70 and 70, 140. You're poised for a great weekend. JAY TEWELL: It's been a good week so far. I'm ready to go into match play. It's going to be fun. I've got dad on the bag, so we're excited about that. He's trying to keep my head on my shoulders and keep me in line when I make mistakes. STEVE MELNICK: What kind of caddy is he? Rate him on a scale of 1 to 10. JAY TEWELL: Oh, I'd say, right now he's about an 8. He's got a little room for improvement, but he's doing a great job. STEVE MELNICK: Doug, you told me earlier, you not only caddied for him here, but when he qualified. He went 36 holes and you carried the bag. DOUG TEWELL: I did. I carried them all 36. They kept asking me if I wanted a cart, and I said no way. STEVE MELNICK: How is he physically? Can he make it the next few days? JAY TEWELL: Oh, he can make it, no problem. STEVE MELNICK: Tell me about your golf game. We know a lot about your dad's game. He plays a left to right game. Describe your game for us. JAY TEWELL: I'm definitely a more of a right to left player, and we hit a lot of fairways, both of us. And I think I make a lot of putts and get up-and-down a lot. We're working on my consistency. And just trying to hit a lot of fairways and greens this week. STEVE MELNICK: Is there a lot of conversation between the two of you out on the golf course. JAY TEWELL: There's a whole lot of conversation. Sometimes he has to jump on my case, and say come on, stay in there, stay focused you have a long way to go. We talk a lot. STEVE MELNICK: Doug, where does the line stop between being that of a father and being that of a caddy? DOUG TEWELL: I think it follows you the whole time you're out there. I'm pulling as hard as I can for Jay. The main reason I'm out there is to help him develop his golf game. He wants to play the PGA Tour for a living some day. If I can give him some mental keys that he and I know it's a mental game when you get up into this level. I just try to help him think better. STEVE MELNICK: Jay, you're in great shape going into the match play of this U.S. Amateur Championship. We wish you well the rest of the way. JAY TEWELL: Thank you very much. End of FastScripts.... |
