U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP


June 20, 2015


Dustin Johnson


UNIVERSITY PLACE, WASHINGTON

Q. Talk about the round. Happy with at least getting out of trouble there on the last few holes and keeping a share of the lead?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: Yeah, I thought I played really well today. Obviously the setup was very difficult. The golf course is playing really firm and fast. It's just tough out there. I played really well today, I thought. A few three-putts. Other than that I felt like I putted it well, just missed a few short ones. I made some putts, too. But really could have been a good day today.

Q. Could have been a good day but for a few holes?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: It's still a really solid round. Even par out there this afternoon is a good score, as you can see. And I thought I played solid, hit a lot of good golf shots. So I'm very pleased with the way today went.

Q. Ready for tomorrow?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: Yeah, I'm very excited. I'm right where I want to be. I'm in position. If I play well tomorrow we'll see what happens.

Q. How difficult is it to control your emotions out there, especially after 13?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: I knew I was playing well. I really didn't do anything. I made a bad swing with an iron, that was really the only bad swing that I felt like I made today. And I knew if I hit it over there where it was going to go and it's going to be a tough bunker shot. But I got it back on the green and then I just three-putted. I hit a good putt, too, even on the one I had for bogey I hit a great putt, it just lipped out. And it's really easy to make bogeys out there or even a double, with the greens as fast as they are and as firm as they are, it's tough.

Q. What iron was that?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: That was on 13 I hit a 7-iron and I just made a poor swing, hooked it, hit it too far left.

Q. What did you learn from your 54-hole lead in 2010 that you can take into tomorrow?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: I've been in the situation a few times so I know how to handle myself. I know what it takes to get it done. And tomorrow just need to go out there and focus one shot at a time. And we'll see what happens.
