PUERTO RICO OPENMarch 8, 2015Tim PetrovicRIO GRANDE, PUERTO RICO Q. Just tell me a little bit about your round today. TIM PETROVIC: Well, I could have started better. I made a nice 15‑footer on 1 and then I hit it over the green and I chipped in. I'm like, oh, okay. And then I holed out a bunker shot or eagle on the next hole. So I went birdie, birdie, eagle right out of the gate. I'm like, I guess you can't start much better than that. So that got me going, and then I made a lot of pars and just played solid. Drove it nicely off the tee. Didn't do anything crazy. I knew it was going to be very difficult today, and I just tried to get the ball in the green, give myself as many birdie putts as I can. Q. Is driving what would be your strength out here this week? TIM PETROVIC: Yeah. I made a little adjustment on Friday during the round. I don't normally do that, but in the past I've had the ability to make an adjustment like during the round, and I birdied two of the last three holes to make the cut.  So I just kept plugging along. I said I'm not missing this cut. I gotta birdie. I gotta make birdie, I gotta make birdie. And I just kind of talked that‑‑ that was kind of my mantra every day, just one hole at a time, okay, see if you can birdie this hole. Okay, go to the next hole, see if you can birdie this hole. So I was just trying to stay focused one hole at a time. Q. Are you looking at the leaderboard right now? TIM PETROVIC: No. Actually, I didn't look at it. I birdied 18 and I looked at it and I saw I was tied for first. I thought I was one behind. So you never know. I know the guys had a tough finish yesterday. The guys dropped a few shots, but in these conditions you never know. But 18 is a birdie hole today. I'm not sure 7 will be good enough. I'll be surprised if it's a playoff. Q. We saw a lot lower scores today. Can you compare the days out here? TIM PETROVIC: Well, we got a little bit of rain this morning, maybe just a little downpour, you know, about 9:00, and I think it just softened the greens up a little bit. I noticed the greens were a little bit softer today. I think if they were firmer you wouldn't see these lower scores today. Q. What do you like about playing here in Puerto Rico? TIM PETROVIC: The warm weather. It's cold everywhere else. The people are really nice. Everybody‑‑ I love the salsa music. I discovered a great coffee shop over in old San Juan. I went over there three times this week. Great coffee, great weather, great people. Trifecta.
