U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPJune 16, 2019Webb SimpsonPebble Beach, California Q. Great day at the U.S. Open for you, Webb. WEBB SIMPSON: It was nice to finish off with 5-under. Great group, played with two of my good buddies, they played great. We kind of fed off of each other, me and Paul. Made a lot of birdies, a lot of putts. But the U.S. Open is still tough. It's always nice to shoot a red number, and great to finish that way. Q. Take us through 6 through 9, that's some good playing. WEBB SIMPSON: I was 1-under through 5, but I had 6 and 7 in front of me. You don't think much about 8, 9 and 10 as birdie holes. But I did a good job this week I felt of staying patient. There were times when I wanted to get frustrated. You never know, if you're patient you might make birdies when I wasn't expecting to. That's what I did on today on 9. I hit a 5-iron in there 15 feet and made birdie. So all in all I wanted a little more out of this week but like I said, there's some positives and a great way to build off this final round. Q. Out of the birdies you made today which one would you say was the best one? WEBB SIMPSON: Probably 17. 17 is probably the toughest. Into the wind. I was in between clubs, and I hit a shot in there about 15 feet, had a tough putt and made it. That felt nice. Q. What club? WEBB SIMPSON: That was a 3-iron hybrid. Q. As you go through things today, you're playing for the best you can be and then you get into a zone where you're going pretty good, does it ever enter your mind that maybe I can do something really crazy here? WEBB SIMPSON: Yeah, you think that sometimes when you get off to a better start than I did. I didn't get off to a great start. But if you're 1-, 2-, 3-under through four or five, you've got six coming up you start thinking that way. But today I didn't. Stayed patient, and one shot at a time. Made the eagle on 6 to start me in the right direction. Q. Could you walk us through 6 on the clubs you hit? WEBB SIMPSON: 6 was a 3-wood off the tee, and then I cut 5-wood into about 15 feet and made it. Q. What is it about today, I think you're the second minus five, what's in the golf course that's giving us the numbers we've seen? WEBB SIMPSON: All week we haven't seen the sun. The greens are still firm, but they're as soft as it can be. And it makes the scoring conditions easier. But I think today in specific the wind is down a little bit compared to yesterday and just that little bit of wind down I think makes it easier and we're able to go get it. The pins on the back were tough, I will say that. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
