THE BARCLAYSAugust 28, 2016Blayne BarberFarmingdale, New York Q. You're projected 101 right now, but what do you take away from this week? BLAYNE BARBER: I mean, I just played poorly the last two days. Played really well the first 36, and just a tough golf course and I was a little off. Didn't drive it well the last few days, and if you're not driving well, you can't really give yourself chances, looks at birdie. I played well. It was just bad today. That's all it is, just bad golf. Q. Obviously back on TOUR next year, so you keep your card. That's a positive. BLAYNE BARBER: That was goal No. 1. I'm trying to keep that in perspective. I really had my back against the wall the last seven or eight events of the year. To finish inside the Top-125 and keep my card is big. It gives me something to build on. If I made it to THE TOUR Championship, first year in the Playoffs, or BMW, whatever, it would kind of set the bar pretty high. So I have a lot to work on, and I'm going to have a few weeks to do that, so that's good. Q. Will you keep an eye on the standings or just go home and relax? BLAYNE BARBER: I was watching coming in. I knew that bogey on 15 dropped me outside. I was kind of watching the last four holes to see. I didn't feel any pressure today. I was just playing poorly. I don't think the 75 was a result of any sort of added pressure. I was playing good coming into this weekend. So it is what it is, hard golf course. I didn't have it today, and that's what you get. Q. How much fun is it playing in the FedExCup? BLAYNE BARBER: It's great. Barclays does a great job with this event. It's a different feel kind of once you get into the Playoffs. It's just a bigger feel; you have that volatility with the quadruple points and all the big name guys are here. It's a great field and it was a blast. I'm glad to have been playing this year. Q. After 15, did you push to get one on the last three? BLAYNE BARBER: Yeah, I hit a laser at 16, hit it a little short, kind of in-between clubs. Hit one less club on 17 to try to get it close and I just nuked a 7-iron. It flew like 196. So I hit a laser there. Then a good drive on 18 that ended up two inches in the first cut, which is kind of hard to control the distance. I hit a perfect shot there. So I hit three shots right at the pin the last three holes, and I mean, this golf course, there's no margin for error. You can't go out there and expect to make a lot of birdies, so if you get behind, you kind of just feel like you're dragging. Just how it is. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
