THE NORTHERN TRUSTAugust 27, 2017David LingmerthOld Westbury, New York Q. You got through that stretch on the front nine, what you needed to do, or was that the first thing from your mind? DAVID LINGMERTH: I was trying not to have any sort of thoughts about this opponent my mind today. Figured I had a bit of a cushion going into today. I was playing pretty solid golf, even today, actually. Just got into a bad stretch there. Hit a tee shot on 5 that I thought was good, went through the fairway and into the water. Dropped it, and hit a good shot again, I thought, over the green. Pretty much impossible up-and-down, and ended up with a double. Then I had two silly 3-putts the next couple holes after some pretty decent approaches there. So I was really playing good. The only bad shot I hit on the front was on No. 8 to put me in a bad spot that I couldn't get up-and-down. And all of a sudden, yeah, I knew I was in a tight squeeze to make it to next week. But I just tried to, you know, dig deep, knowing actually I'm not playing that bad. I've just got to catch some breaks here and a couple birdies went in, and yeah, happy to finish with 2-under on the back and going to Boston. Q. Is it pleasing that you're able to do that? A lot of guys struggle to turn it around. DAVID LINGMERTH: I guess it's pleasing but I'm a little disappointed that it got to that point because really, played pretty solid this week. Was hoping to make a move up the leaderboard today. Obviously I'm happy I dug in today, and I have a chance to make something happen next week instead. So yeah, I'm glad I'm still in it. Q. Have you ever done something like this before? I should probably know that but have you ever -- DAVID LINGMERTH: Not really. Honestly this is my fourth year making it to the Playoffs and previous three years, I had pretty solid regular seasons and once the Playoffs started, I kind of fell back and never really made a move in any positive direction. Yeah, I guess this is the first time I'm really making a jump up to the next tournament from the outside. I guess that's a good feeling at least. Q. Could that back nine maybe propel you a little bit this next week and give you a little bit of confidence? DAVID LINGMERTH: I hope so. There's a lot of things I did this week that I'm proud of. I putted well. I think I drove it way better than I have most of this summer. My short game, chipping's been pretty good, too. Just got to, you know, be a little bit more consistent with some of the approach shots, and I don't see why I couldn't clean that up to next week and maybe have some fun there. Q. When you were looking over that mid-range par putt on the last, did it ever cross your mind that this could be to move on? DAVID LINGMERTH: Yes, it did. I figured I was in a spot where I may be able to afford to miss it, but I really wanted to make it. I didn't want to miss it and see what happens. I thought if I made it, I'm through. It was great to see that one go in for sure. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
