WELLS FARGO CHAMPIONSHIPMay 17, 2015Webb SimpsonCHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA Q. Webb, I know it wasn't the Sunday charge you were looking for. It had to be great to play in front of these fans here at your home course. WEBB SIMPSON: Yeah. It was a memorable week, nonetheless. And you know, Rory is a great player. I knew I would have to come out, something low today and certainly par wasn't going to get it done. Disappointed but at the same time he played well and no bogies, I don't think, or except 17 but he played solid and he's a tough guy to beat today. Q. What does this week do for your game? WEBB SIMPSON: We're trying to get better. I feel like it's a great week. I'm going to take a lot of positives from this week and keep working, moving forward. Q. Driving over early what were your chances ever of making a charge? WEBB SIMPSON: I hit some loose shots early. Drive on 1 and 3, you know, missed the green on 6 but I had five feet for par and three-putted. Through 6 I made so many mistakes, probably more mistakes than I had all week. That was kind of a killer to be couple over through 6 with Rory playing pretty solid. Q. When he's playing that well and he's hitting it 350, hitting fairways, what's it like trying to play catch up? WEBB SIMPSON:  It's tough. You know, you never expect him to hit bad shots so you know you got to be that much sharper and that much more on your game. So it is a little difficult. But, you know, it was fun to watch him play well. He's our best player right now and, you know, I wish more than anything I could have shot a couple under on the front to make it more exciting. Didn't have it today. Q. Did you feel the momentum a little bit after you made that putt on 2? WEBB SIMPSON: It was so early. You know, I birdied there. He missed his putt. So I thought, you know, it was a good feeling to be kind of get a couple back that I didn't expect. But still had a long ways to go. Q. Are there positives you take out of this week? WEBB SIMPSON: Yeah. Felt like my ball-striking is getting better and fundamentally we're getting better. Putting it, getting better although I putted terrible today. Confidence-wise, I still feel I'm kind of moving in the right direction. That's all I wanted out of this season more than anything. Q. With you playing this round with such a big lead that he had, is there any pressure to try to put some pressure on him? WEBB SIMPSON: No. I mean for us guys on Tour when you relax you seem to play worse. I felt like we always play better if we need to hit shots, need to make something happen, we all seem to play a little better and, you know, today being 6 back or whatever it was, you know, early, I had to do a lot of self-talking, try to get myself back into it mentally. Q. Did you find anything like an edge that Rory was using that you would like to try? WEBB SIMPSON: No. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
