FORD SENIOR PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIPJuly 11, 1997Jimmy PowellDEARBORN, MICHIGAN PHIL STAMBAUGH: Jimmy, 67 today, highlighted by 31 on the front. You're our MASTERCARD CHAMPIONS leader, trying to win your second in a row, but you got to play 18 more holes this week. JIMMY POWELL: I know it. That's the bad news. No, I played very well. Actually, I played well on both sides. And the front side, I know you've heard this many times, but it could have been a whole lot better. I missed two 4-footers for birdies on 2 and 3. And really never had it outside of maybe ten feet in the whole nine holes. I think I birdied the last four, didn't I? PHIL STAMBAUGH: Last four. JIMMY POWELL: 6, 7, 8 and 9. They were all just real close putts. Back nine, I sort of -- just couldn't get anything going. Then I bogeyed the 17th hole from right in front of the green. I'm 2 there. Hit a bad chip shot, then I 3-putted. I made a good putt on 18 for birdie that sort of -- that helps, especially after you do something like you did on 17. PHIL STAMBAUGH: You just want to talk about your front side and the putts you did make there. JIMMY POWELL: Well, I started out again, birdied No. 1 from probably about four feet. Then next birdie I think was at 6. I hit it about a foot from the hole there. PHIL STAMBAUGH: Wedge? JIMMY POWELL: Yeah, little sand there. The next hole is a par 5. I hit it probably ten feet there and made it. 17, I hit it about a foot from the hole. PHIL STAMBAUGH: 8? JIMMY POWELL: Excuse me, No. 8. PHIL STAMBAUGH: What club? JIMMY POWELL: 7-iron. Then on 9, I hit it probably about eight feet, eight, nine feet, with a 7-iron. PHIL STAMBAUGH: That last hole you did? JIMMY POWELL: That hole played -- was playing hard today, against the wind today. Yesterday it was downwind. I hit a real good drive, hit a 4-iron, probably 18, 20 feet. Had to come up over a rise. I got a pretty good read on it from Dale. Dale had to putt almost on the same line that I was. I noticed it didn't break very much. Hit a beautiful putt there, just dead center. PHIL STAMBAUGH: This being the 54-hole MASTERCARD, do you want to talk about that? You're obviously in the thick of it for the overall tournament. JIMMY POWELL: I want to win the tournament. If you win the MASTERCARD, that's wonderful, but not even close, you know, if you win the big one. I'd love to win a major. I don't know if I can or not, but I'm going to sure try. PHIL STAMBAUGH: Anybody got any questions? Short and sweet. Thank you, very much. JIMMY POWELL: Thank you, sir. End of FastScripts.... |
