BMW MASTERSNovember 14, 2015Patrick ReedShanghai, China PATRICK REED: If I can go out there and shoot a low to mid-60s, it's always a good round. But I have a lot of work to do, especially with these guys coming in, I'm pretty sure they will make a couple birdies and get down the lead a little lower. But for me the main thing is stay patient and aggressive, but figure out the par 5s. Even with shooting 8-under today, I didn't birdie a single par 5. I played them at even par and I'm only 1-under par this week for the par 5s total. I need to figure them out and I need to get that going. But the game felt really good today. I finally feel like I was hitting the ball solid. The first two days I didn't feel like I was hitting it very well. Any time I get a little bit more comfortable and a little bit more confidence in the ball-striking, makes the putting a lot easier. Q. Is this down to work on the range or better weather conditions for you compared to a modest first couple of days? PATRICK REED: I think it's more on just staying rested and just kind of rejuvenating, because the main thing is, this is my fourth week in a row, and especially with all of them being overseas and traveling. So just something I need to get used to and just keep on get something good night sleeps and wake up and start fresh. Q. Did it kind of help that you've got a hotel right here on course and you don't have to do too much traveling? PATRICK REED: Oh, for sure, it does. Any time you can stay really close, it makes life a lot easier. Just gives that you extra ten, 15 minutes to get to sleep. Any time you can have a little extra Zs, it's always better. Q. I take it you fed off Henrik Stenson, the two of you both going nicely. PATRICK REED: For sure. One of those things that we kept on trading off birdies, whether we topped each other: He would birdie one and I would birdie the next and then he would birdie the next. If we play with each other tomorrow, hopefully we can do the same thing, get a run and hopefully have a chance later in the round. Q. You've touched on this, because it does depend on what the others do, but what do you fancy is necessary come Sunday? PATRICK REED: Kind of all depends on how the weather -- a day like today where even though the wind was up, it was a little warmer, I would think I would have to go shoot probably around close to the same number I just did to have a chance to win. But it all depends on what these guys behind us do and it all depends on how they set up the golf course tomorrow. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
