JOHN DEERE CLASSIC

July 10, 2005

Wes Short, Jr.

SILVIS, ILLINOIS

Q. Pretty nice round today.

WES SHORT JR.: I played really good today. I mean, I got off to a good start and didn't had one kick up there on the 16th hole, I three putted, but other than that I had a good round.

Q. Did you take a glance at the leaderboard? Your name was on top of it a few times.

WES SHORT JR.: Yeah, I'm actually kind of a follower of the leaderboard, so I like to know what I need to do.

Q. Talk about the chip out of the sand on 14.

WES SHORT JR.: 14, oh, I was short of the sand. I actually got lucky and got a really good lie there, so I just had, I think, 60 yards, and it was actually a pretty easy shot and got a good break there.

Q. 6th start of the year on Tour. Did you feel this type of week coming?

WES SHORT JR.: Actually I went home last week and got some help from my teacher, and it seemed to go real well last week when I was practicing, and it went pretty well this week, too, when I was practicing, and I played a good practice round. I thought it was coming. I was just hoping it would one of these days.

Q. You were thinking maybe you and your old boss might be in playoff?

WES SHORT JR.: That's what I was hoping. I had a couple hiccups on 15 and 16 yesterday, and I was hoping I'd make a couple birdies coming in and play with J.L. That would have been fun. We haven't played together in a long time.

Q. Highest finisher not already in the British gets a trip. Would you go if you get it or would you pass it up?

WES SHORT JR.: I'd have to think about it actually. If it comes along, you know, it's hard to pass up playing in a major, so I'd probably go.

Q. You mentioned you like to peek at the leaderboard. Were you a little over aggressive at that putt on 16?

WES SHORT JR.: Actually I just hit it too hard. I mean, I knew it was fast and my caddie told me it was fast, and I just hit it way too hard.

Q. Coming back, was that

WES SHORT JR.: I just pulled it. It was really my only bad putt today.

Q. Overall just your thoughts on the week. You said you were hoping it would come.

WES SHORT JR.: It's actually good to play good in a big tournament finally. I've been thinking it could happen, but it just hasn't been happening.
