April 3, 2016
Humble, Texas
Q. Final round, 5 under before the home crowd. Got to feel pretty good about that.
PATRICK REED: It did. I felt like I left the crowd down the first three days because I felt like I hit the ball really solid and I wasn't able to cap off many of the putts, so the crowd didn't really have much to cheer for. Today, it got here a little early, had my coach come in to work a little bit with my putting. I felt real confident and comfortable with how I was putting. I continued hitting the ball well. Made a couple of those crucial putts I needed to, and it was nice to see it go in, especially going into Augusta.
Q. Speaking about that, I mean, you feel pretty good about your game going into the Masters?
PATRICK REED: Yeah, I feel like I'm playing great. I just haven't really gotten anything out of my rounds. Today I finally felt like the score kind of reflected how I hit the golf ball, and I still felt like I left a couple out there. But besides that, you know, it was a lot better and a lot closer than where it needed to be. I was close. Just needed to get it going.
Q. Anything specifically you wanted to work on this week in Houston to get ready for next week?
PATRICK REED: Not really. Just mainly make sure everything is sharp and continue to play and compete. I love competing and playing in tournaments. Kind of a no-brainer. It's just kind of one of those things, the past three days I haven't really seen any putts go in. Main key today was just continue hitting the ball well, because going into today I was 3rd in strokes gained tee to green, but I was like 70 in strokes gained putting, which is horrendous and is way below standards of where I expect to be.
So, coming in today the main focus was, you know, make sure you continue making good putts, good lines and make some putts. Of course, I stepped up on the first hole, six-and-a-half-footer for birdie, thought I hit a good putt. It doesn't go in, okay, here we go again. I was able to make a lot of 8, 10, 15-footers today. I think I made like four, five of them, which was nice to see the ball go in.
