U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPJune 15, 2019Chesson HadleyPebble Beach, California Q. Do you agree that it showed its teeth today? CHESSON HADLEY: For sure. I would say it's just a little bit firmer. I felt like the fairways were a shade firmer, the wind was blowing a little bit more, and the flags were harder, for sure. I thought they were at least about -- I felt like the first two days it was -- felt like you could get it in there close, and there was certainly a couple of flags you could have done that today, but I felt like for the most part you had to be really sharp with your stuff to get it close and give yourself some opportunities at birdies. But I hung in there. So I was proud of myself, and we got another tee time tomorrow. Q. Birdie opportunities there, do you feel it's doable to make up five shots or so? CHESSON HADLEY: Always. You just never know. You just go out and black out some tomorrow and do what Johnny Miller did, and you never know. I would assume it's going to be very similar conditions tomorrow as it was today, just kind of temperature and wind and everything. I felt the last three holes I thought it got cold. I was cold. The last hole I think I had 158 and I roasted a 7-iron and it was three paces short of the flag. So it's getting cold and it's a little bit windy. If you can go put a really nice one together tomorrow, anything is possible, for sure. Q. Does it feel like the kind of tournament, G-Mac was saying that you just hang around on Sunday? CHESSON HADLEY: Yeah, you've just got to hang in there, and you never know what can happen tomorrow. It could get super firm. And bogeys are flying everywhere. I would think I'm going to have to shoot something lower than a 3- or 4- or 5-under. But at least I have an opportunity to be there, to do that. And obviously they're still playing, so you don't know what the lead is going to be yet. I think 17 is playing tough and 18 is back into the breeze, and I didn't play that hole very well. But Gary can probably get there in two. You still have to hit a really good drive to do that. Q. Best shot today? CHESSON HADLEY: Best shot today? You know, I didn't make a putt, but that shot I hit on 17 was about as good as I can do. That was just flush 6-iron, five-yard draw off the right edge of the green, landed short. Did exactly what I wanted it to do. I'm very happy with that one. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
