PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

August 14, 2005

Ron Philo

SPRINGFIELD, NEW JERSEY

Q. How was your round today?

RON PHILO: Well, finally parred No. 3.

Q. What did you hit?

RON PHILO: I hit it on the fairway, I hit it on the green and I 2 putted. It was kind of unique. I struggled through that stretch of 6, 7 and 8 the last couple of days, but I still felt comfortable on the back nine. I think I shot under par on the back nine the last three days. That felt good standing on 10 tee even though I bogeyed 10. I birdied 11. I felt good coming into 17 and 18, the two par 5s. I feel like I don't have to worry about what Tiger is doing, I don't have to worry about going at it in two, so I had a wedge into 17 and 18 with a chance to get there.

It's great every time I play. There are some great players who played this week and it was great to have four of us out here playing on the weekend. Steve Schneiter is out there at 9 over right now. He's a very solid player. Saw him in the locker room, shot a 72. So I know he was 6 over and I was 7 over. You know, that really wasn't an objective. My objective I think when I started today, I really wanted to try to break 288. This is a 72 for the members, so it would be a par 72 for me if I was a club professional here playing. Breaking 288 would be like breaking par. But I got close. So that was good.

Q. Can you describe Thursday round versus Saturday and Sunday?

RON PHILO: I think I burned a lot of adrenaline on Thursday and Friday afternoon in the heat and, you know, I am trying to play really, really hard. Saturday morning I was bone tired. I mean, I didn't realize it until maybe walking up the hill on two how tired I was. I had great pairings, Ted Purdy was great to play with and Mark was great to play with today.

Q. How do you spend the rest of today now?

RON PHILO: Take a shower, got to get to the airport, got to fly out to Portland, spend a little time with my family before I head back to Florida.
