U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP


July 18, 2018


Joseph Pagdin


Springfield, New Jersey

Q. So you went up on the 6th hole and kind of kept the lead the whole time.
JOSEPH PAGDIN: Yeah, I mean, I got off to a good start. Won the 1st hole with a par, and then bogeys the 2nd; three-putt from kind of a short putt.

So up until hole 4 or 5 it was a bit of a shaky start. I was kind of hitting a bit wayward and not making many putts.

Then on I think it was 6 I holed out for a two from 150 yards, so that was good. So 1-up there.

Then par-5, 8, birdied that.

Birdied 9, 10, 11, four birdies in a row and got 4-up.

And then I should have -- I was playing pretty aggressive the whole round, but I should have kind of put my foot to the floor on 14, 15. I lost I think it was 13.

Q. Yeah, uh-huh.
JOSEPH PAGDIN: Then I just par'd my way in. He bogeyed the last hole.

So I mean, I played good. I think I was 5- or 6-under with two bogeys, so I'm happy the way I played.

Q. Yeah.
JOSEPH PAGDIN: Good positive things for tomorrow.

Q. I know you say you have a lot of match play experience. Is that kind of always your game plan, to be aggressive?
JOSEPH PAGDIN: I'm not overly aggressive when I go out to play. I don't start taking out pins, obviously because if you don't have to you don't.

But I find the toughest thing that I have is when I get 3- or 4-up is to finish it to get 5 and 6. So that's what I mean by aggressive. When I get 3- or 4-up is stick to being aggressive and not just hitting on the green and taking your two-putts. So kind of finish it out.

Q. Your mindset going into the next round?
JOSEPH PAGDIN: Yeah, obviously tomorrow will be early I think. I think I'm playing another Mexican kid. I think I'm just going to do the same thing I did today: just try and play my own game and let the score take care of itself.
