U.S. SENIOR OPEN


August 13, 2016


Michael Allen


Columbus, Ohio

Q. So what was going well for you today? What were you battling with? How did the course play for you?
MICHAEL ALLEN: I think the first, certainly, nine holes, I just hit the ball beautifully, right where I was trying to, right distance. I was always in there.

My knee started hurting on 5. I kind of hit a bad one there, but then it was -- hit a bad chip. That was the only green I kind of missed there. So I made a bogey.

But other than that, I played nice. I hung in there. I'm kind of making some decent short putts, and you got to keep making those out here. I hit a lot of five-footers.

Q. How did the wind affect you today at all? Was it different compared to -- obviously, the last two days, it hasn't been quite as bad. Today's a little bit worse. Does that play a role?
MICHAEL ALLEN: The wind was really tough. As I told Billy there, like 15, it was just so downwind, hit a beautiful shot. Still able to make par, but just off the green. I thought it was a great shot, had a good chance at birdie, but bounced over.

Then 18, I couldn't have hit two better shots. The wind died on me, and then it goes over the back of the green.

Q. I saw that.
MICHAEL ALLEN: So you know, I mean, I just stand there and you got 200, just over 200 into the wind, and then it dies. So, you know, it's one of those things. It's golf. It's tough.
