BMW CHAMPIONSHIPSeptember 8, 2016Dustin JohnsonCarmel, Indiana Q. What made you want to change putters, where you found it and what you liked about it? DUSTIN JOHNSON: No, it's just a Spider. I messed around with it before, but, no, just I felt like last week and past few weeks I've just been struggling to get the putter on line, like the line that I was seeing. And so yeah, Sean sent me one of those and I started rolling it and it felt pretty good. So I putted with it like the last four holes yesterday, because I didn't get it until like late in the round, because it was shipped in. And then the practice with it this morning was really good, so I kept it going and it rolled really nicely today. So, I know it works, so if I miss putts, it's not the putter, it's me. Q. First tournament with it? You messed around with it, first time using it in a tournament? DUSTIN JOHNSON: Well I used the Spider like a mallet Spider like that, I don't know like six years ago one round. It was Phoenix, last time I played there. I don't know when it was. Q. Did you mess around with a bunch of different styles or did you always know you wanted to go with that style? DUSTIN JOHNSON: No, I always putted with just a Scotty Cameron, like an Anser 2 Scotty Cameron. Q. But this week did you know you wanted to go to a specific putter or did you test specific ones? DUSTIN JOHNSON: No, I always putt with that kind of like an Anser-type putter, so I just had Sean make me up one of the short neck Spiders. Q. Do you have a few putters in the closet? DUSTIN JOHNSON: Yeah, I got quite a few. Q. How many? DUSTIN JOHNSON: I don't know, I never counted. But I've got quite a few though. Q. Today, pleased to get finished? DUSTIN JOHNSON: Yes, very pleased to get finished. So that was definitely nice. I think the group behind me finished, too, so we were one of the last two groups to finish. But it saves a couple hours of sleep to come back and have to finish one hole. Q. During the delay were you thinking that this might not finish today? DUSTIN JOHNSON: Well, I knew when we started, I knew if the weather stayed nice that we definitely had a really good shot to finish. Because we were pretty much on 8 tee with three hours to finish 11 holes. As long as there wasn't a disaster somewhere in front of us, we would be okay. Q. How firm was it playing before the break and how much did it change? DUSTIN JOHNSON: Well, the fairways were rolling out pretty good and the greens had a little bounce in them and then obviously, with the rain, no roll in the fairways and the greens were very receptive. Q. A lot of red numbers on your card, was that pleasing too? DUSTIN JOHNSON: Yeah, I like making birdies, but I need to drive it a little better tomorrow. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
