Frank Lickliter

FRANK LICKLITER: No bogeys in the whole tournament so far.

FRANK LICKLITER: All right. Basically just made one error, and that was the at very first hole yesterday. I teed off on 10 and hooked it into the pine trees, and I had to punch out and actually got up-and-down from 165 yards for par. And that's the most trouble I've been in in two days. Other than that, I hit one drive in the bunker up against the lip on 15 and ended up making birdie from there. I've been very fortunate. Just striking it very well off the tee and into the green.

FRANK LICKLITER: Today.

FRANK LICKLITER: Birdied 2. Hit 5-iron to six feet right of the hole. Birdied the par 5 on the front, No. 5. I couldn't reach the hole today. I had to lay up and I hit sand wedge to probably six feet, right below the hole. 12, a little short hole, dogleg right, and I hit sand wedge to 15 feet, pin-high right. 15, the par 5, like I said, I drove it up into the lip of the bunker. Hit a pitching wedge out. And I was debating on whether or not to hit a sand wedge, just to hit it over the lip, and I ended up hitting an 8-iron and caught the ridge and came down the bottom tier and actually made it from the bottom tier going to the top tier.

FRANK LICKLITER: That was 45 feet.

FRANK LICKLITER: Well, the 30-footer on the 1st hole yesterday. Other than that, I've had a couple 4- and 5-footers, yesterday. My last hole, No. 9, I had about a 6-footer. And basically just two or three of those, not a whole lot of them.

FRANK LICKLITER: No.

FRANK LICKLITER: Maybe. Maybe. It might end up still being in the lead through tomorrow. But then again, it might not. Even with the wind blowing.

FRANK LICKLITER: Not with the way the wind was blowing -- as long as it keeps blowing, it might be somewhat of an advantage. And I can't tell you how good the greens are here. The golf course is in such wonderful shape. These fairways are just perfect. And the greens are actually perfect, too. I'm impressed with what they have done to get the golf course in shape.

FRANK LICKLITER: Absolutely. You have to think about where you want your ball to end up on the green. And sometimes, you know, you just have to take your lumps and hit it 40 feet away from the hole and make sure that it is under the hole. There were a couple pins yesterday that they were wicked, borderline unfair, I thought. But, yeah, you have to pay attention to where the pin is, and you really have to, you know, work on keeping the ball on the right part of the green.

FRANK LICKLITER: No. A couple weeks ago at -- not a couple weeks, I guess about six weeks ago, yeah. The Western, Milwaukee.
