SENIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY KITCHENAIDMay 24, 2015Lee RinkerFRENCH LICK, INDIANA Q. 9-over for the tournament, what did you think going into the week compared to how you ended the week and your overall performance? LEE RINKER: Well, I haven't really been playing much, so I didn't really have a whole lot of expectations as far as how I would play. I played about the way I expected. I mean, I played okay, but not great. But I just haven't been playing enough to play a little bit better. But the course, I don't know, as you play the course you get more used to it. And you kind of get an idea of where -- you almost feel like, hey, you can get around it a little bit better. Even missing shots, you kind of feel that way. But it's great. It's been, I mean just watching it, it's, if you're hitting some good shots, you can make some birdies and get -- but yet there's a lot of movement, you know. I mean it's real easy to shoot 4- or 5-over. But then you can shoot, 4- or 5-under, too. Q. Was there a part of the course that you thought became easier throughout the week by playing it more? LEE RINKER: The par-5s are hard. I only made one birdie, I birdied the very last par-5. And to me the par-5s were kind of touchy, because number nine you can reach, but I never hit a good enough drive. And but yet I hit it in the fairway. And then that was kind of a tough tee shot there, too. But I don't know, they're awkward with the way they go and you're kind of hitting around them, so they're kind of a challenge. So, normally that's where you would kind of pick up some shots and I didn't play them very well. Q. What part of your game do you think was your strength for this week being 9-over for what's set up as a very tough golf course? LEE RINKER: Well, I putted pretty well. I scrambled fairly well. I think that I scrambled pretty well and when I did get in trouble I was able to hit good recovery shots. I hit a lot of good recovery shots back out into play. Because that's where you can really get into trouble. When you hit a bad shot and you get on one of the side hill lies and you could very easily then hit it in trouble. And I was able to hit quite a few good recovery shots. Q. Watching it here on TV, is there stuff that you started noticing, seeing it on television, compared to actually playing it in person that was a little bit different for you? LEE RINKER: Not really. I mean, you watch some of the better players and you see them hit a lot of good shots and make some birdies. You're seeing them -- there's some birdies out there, you just have to hit some really good iron shots. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
