WASTE MANAGEMENT PHOENIX OPENFebruary 4, 2016Greg OwenScottsdale, Arizona A flash interview with: GREG OWEN Q. 67 today. After your start, you must have felt like it was a little bit on the rocks there for a while. GREG OWEN: Yeah, was getting last week's gales and all that, but it was cold and, you know, I'm not a young pup like all these other kids coming on the tour. So just getting the hips and the back warmed up and getting going, it took me a few holes. But finally found my rhythm and banged out -- played the front 9, I only missed one drive. Got lucky after that. Very fortunate. Q. From 17, which was your 8th hole, that was a pretty good round of golf. GREG OWEN: Yeah, I had a decent drive but put myself in probably the worst position on 17. It was like short right and got a big hog's back to go over. Played a pretty decent pitch. I holed a real nice putt. That really set me off. I hit it close on 18. Made a good par on 1. Hit it pretty close, just went down the slope. And I started hitting some really solid shots. Didn't birdie the par-5, which was a little frustrating, a little problem I have to get a handle on. Throwing in a few too many shots away on the par-5. But it's a good round of golf. Very solid. Q. Was the cold a problem to get started? Because it was, you know, a 45-, 50-minute delay. It was pretty chilly out here. GREG OWEN: It was, it was. Just not a real problem, though. It's just something you're not used to. I live in Florida now, and you come out, and last week just to the end of the week and this week, it's just taking a little bit of getting used to and just gotta warm up a little longer, take a little care of my body. You know, just -- the ball's going pretty much [indiscernible]. Q. Looking at these blue skies and sunshine and thinking about Sunday/Monday last week, that couldn't have been a lot of fun. GREG OWEN: No, it wasn't. You know, it's a shame because, you know, me personally, I had three good days, put myself in a decent position. And again, I mean, for the first nine holes [indiscernible] hang on and get, you know, strike the club at it. Just frustrated. But as I say, we play in all sorts of weather. We had to play in it. And it's a shame [indiscernible]. Brandt, who ended up winning it, he played in front of me, and that's probably the best golf that's been recorded in a while. I couldn't believe when I saw he shot 3-under. Anything around 75, 76 I thought was [indiscernible]. Unbelievable. Q. 67. Excellent score here today. Congratulations. Good luck the rest of the week. GREG OWEN: Thank you. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
