U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPJune 18, 2016Lee WestwoodOakmont, Pennsylvania Q. It was like you were riding the roller coaster of Blackpool today. You had a birdie run. You had a run of bogeys and finished off with a wonderful birdie at 18. LEE WESTWOOD: Yeah, I didn't hit the ball very well. I struggled on the range this morning to find my swing and really couldn't find it all day today on the golf course until the last hole. I feel like I got a little feeling there. Maybe I'll find it for the third round. Just delighted the way I played. It was a professional round of 72. The mistakes I made weren't killers, weren't disastrous. They were only bogeys, and then I finished strongly with two birdies on the last three holes. Q. I really like the way you put that, a professional round of golf. Your experience played a huge role in maintaining your composure, staying in competition. You could still win this. LEE WESTWOOD: I didn't panic out there. Just kept trying to grind it out. Missed it in the right spots if I did miss it. Just picked up the odd shot if I could. That's about all you can really say about that round. Q. Got enough in your legs for this afternoon? LEE WESTWOOD: Yeah. Q. Brilliant finish to what looked like a real grind on the round? LEE WESTWOOD: It started off well even though I felt like I was struggling a bit with my swing. And then put a run of bogeys together. Bogeys aren't always disastrous in a U.S. Open. Didn't play myself out of it. Then finished off strongly with two birdies on the last three holes. Q. How do you feel you're swinging the club today? LEE WESTWOOD: Like I just said, struggling to find my swing on the range and on the golf course, so it was a professional 72 that I just had to grind out. Q. A professional 72, and you're one of only ten players in the red numbers under par going into what is now really the weekend. That must be very pleasing. LEE WESTWOOD: Yeah. The way I played today, I could have blown myself out of the championship. So it was good to grind it out, be under par, be in the red, and have a chance at the weekend.
