AT&T PEBBLE BEACH NATIONAL PRO-AMFebruary 15, 2015Michael LundPat PerezPEBBLE BEACH, CALIFORNIA Q. Let's start with the amateur partner. What a thrill that had to be for you. MICHAEL LUND: It's the best week of my life, thank you, sir. I can't even believe it. Obviously when you come here you want to win, but I guess you just can't believe that it actually happened. So I'm loss of words. Q. Pat, you were really into the team competition as well. I could tell by your reaction on the 18th. PAT PEREZ: Michael's a very good friend of mine. We have known each other a long time now, played a lot of golf and hung out. I know what this means to him. I kind of had a chance to win here but I knew I was going to have to play great to win on the individual. But I wanted it more for him than anything in the world, because I know what it means to him. Him being such a dear friend of mine, I just knew that ‑‑ I'm really excited for him. It's almost like I won. I really wanted it for him and we had a great time. Q. Michael, you get to come back here forever. And take a look right below the first tee, there's a plaque that lists all the pro‑am winners. You'll be right there next to Bill Murray. MICHAEL LUND: I freaking love it. Q. He's a perfect partner for you? PAT PEREZ: You have no idea. You have no idea. Q. Big week for you, obviously playing today, you had a chance. You were actually for, I want to say, maybe for 30 seconds to a minute actually tied for the lead. PAT PEREZ: Yeah, I don't know. We were ‑‑ I was so involved in the amateur part with him that I knew I was going to have to shoot like 62 or 61 to even have a chance at winning because the course is in perfect shape, everyone's playing well. Totally different week than any other week I've been here at Pebble. So, I was worried about him. I knew he was going to be real nervous, I tried to keep him calm. I played all right. I got off to a good start. I hit a lot of shots I never hit on this course before. I hit it close on 8. I hit a great one on 5. I mean it just, you know, it was a good week. It was a fun week. I've had such a bad run and my new coach, Drew Steckel, we worked hard the last few months. After Vegas I was at that point again where I go what am I going to do now? I'm playing so bad, it's been such a horrendous run these last six months. He got me straightened around and I couldn't be happier. It was just a great building week. I didn't win, but I felt like I won, because I hit a lot of great shot shots when I needed to on Sunday. I made some key putts that I needed to, and just I'm pretty happy about it. I'm looking forward to the year going forward now.
