SHRINERS HOSPITALS FOR CHILDREN OPENOctober 24, 2015Alex CejkaLas Vegas, Nevada Q. Alex, a slowish start to your day but something clicked at 7. What happened? ALEX CEJKA: You know, I know the golf course. I've played here quite a bit. I feel comfortable out here. You know, I played good from the beginning, I just three-putted two holes. That was stupid, to be suddenly 2-over par instead of 1-under, and you know, just plugging along and trying to make good shots, give me a couple chances, and then suddenly make a nice putt on 7, hit it pretty close on 8, and then I kind of felt pretty comfortable, birdied 9, and then obviously the back nine was really strong. Q. Four birdies in five holes and you come to 16, 17, 18, obviously a birdie at the gettable par-5, 16th, fair enough, but then you get on 17, the hole-in-one, talk us through the shot, what club, and then did you go and have a look at the plaque of Jonathan Byrd's afterwards? ALEX CEJKA: Well, I know the plaque. I actually played the first two rounds with him when he won here. He was playing really well, and obviously I saw his hole-in-one on TV, and it was a good 6-iron for me, perfect yardage. I tried to hit it a little bit right, and I struck it well, and I pitched pretty good and was rolling towards the pin and then suddenly disappeared. It's a great bonus, especially in front of the home crowd here, and then to top it off with a birdie on 18, that's fabulous. Q. How many aces is that for you in your career now? ALEX CEJKA: You know, I think that was No. 7. Q. Lucky No. 7, perfect in Vegas, isn't it? I like that. 5-under 66, more importantly, you're now 10-under par and very much in the thick of this tournament. You've got your eyes on winning, I know that, but how are you feeling going into Sunday? ALEX CEJKA: Again, you know, if I play like today, good tee balls, you keep giving yourself good chances and it all depends who's going to have a hot putter. It's always low scoring here. Normally it's like 20-under. This year is a little bit higher, but it depends. 18 holes, I feel pretty comfortable. I'm going to play my normal game tomorrow hopefully, and we'll see if I make putts and can be up there. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
