Quick Quotes

Q. (On his impression of Stewart Cink's play)

DUSTIN JOHNSON: The course setup and everything, it's in really good condition, and it hasn't been too windy. Obviously he's just played really solid, not really making any mistakes, where I just feel like I made way too many mistakes. Around here, you make mistakes, they penalize you pretty big.

Yeah, I mean, he's played great. Obviously he's playing really solid tee to green, giving himself a lot of opportunities to make birdie.

Q. You made about 145 feet of putts today; that's a lot of putts, a lot of feet of putts.

DUSTIN JOHNSON: Well, it was kind of all in two putts really, on 16 and 17 was most of the feet. But yeah, I put a new putter in today, and yeah, it felt good. It would have made a few more I feel like, just a little more speed. The first day using it, I just got it in yesterday, so rolled a few on the putting green. I really like it. It's got a different shaft in it and a different head, but rolled good, so we're going to keep it up.

Q. What goes into the decision making for a midweek switch of equipment?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: I feel like I haven't putted really well for the last few weeks, so that's kind of really why I've just been struggling with my putter. I kept with it, kept practicing, kept grinding, but it wasn't really getting any better, so sometimes it's just time for a change.

Q. What are your plans for the next few weeks?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: I'm playing Tampa. Tampa, and then probably the Nelson and PGA.

Q. What's the putter?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: I don't even know what it's called. It's TaylorMade.

Q. Is it drastically different from what you had?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: Yeah.
