THE 145TH OPENJuly 17, 2016Bill HaasTroon, South Ayrshire, Scotland BILL HAAS: Certainly on a time of day when I needed to shoot something good, I'm disappointed. Didn't get off to a good start. The putter felt a little shaky early and then just didn't put the ball off the tee in the positions I needed to do it. Mainly it was left was my miss, so I don't know why that is, but it's something I can work on and hopefully build upon for the next time I'm in this position. Q. (Inaudible). Was there a comfort zone with that? BILL HAAS: Yeah, I pulled the one on 5. 6 was actually more the wedge shots than the putt. I had a 10-footer there. You're going to miss 10-footers. But, yeah, missing a three-footer there after a great chip at 5. I don't want to say derailed me, because I felt like I could still do something good. I was trying to be aggressive with the wedge at 6. Just hit it in the bunker. A spot you just couldn't hit it. So to go, basically I should have made 3 on 5, and I definitely shouldn't have made 6 on 6. There's two shots, maybe three in those two holes. Then you look up and you're 12th back already. So it was pretty much a grind from that point on. Q. (Inaudible). BILL HAAS: Yeah, my goal was to shoot something under par. I thought if I shot something under par and the leaders fell backwards, I'd give myself a chance coming down the stretch. But obviously looking back, they shot great numbers. It was a two-man race, and hat's off to them. I finished top 10, and I think I'm down by 17 or something like that. So that's just really good golf by those two guys. Q. (Inaudible). BILL HAAS: Yeah, take away positives. The negative is today. If I had shot 75 the first round and then grinding my way to 9th, I could see it positively. So I've got to think of it that way. But in the back of your head you just know I was in position to do something really good and I didn't take advantage. So disappointed, but I hung tight. I parred the last seven holes when I was tied for 9th. So I wanted a top 10, I wanted a top 5. So I achieved a small goal. Q. (Inaudible). BILL HAAS: Coming down the stretch there, the wind's off the left and I just was really telling myself, "Don't bail right. Try to make a good, aggressive swing," and I was maybe just being overly aggressive or a little flippy with the hands. I'm not sure what it is. But if I knew exactly what it was, I wouldn't have done it time and time again. But I was trying my best, and just couldn't hit the fairways. Q. The atmosphere, what was the atmosphere like? BILL HAAS: Yeah, it was pretty electric out there for him. It was fun to watch. He's certainly a fan favourite and deservingly so; he's a great guy. Q. PGA Championship, is that your next start? BILL HAAS: It is my next start. Yeah, I'm not playing Canada, so I'll go home for a week and then hopefully work on a few things and try to think about the positives and not the negatives and take those into the PGA.
