Tom Hoge

Quick Quotes

Q. I assume you played in weather like this before, but how long has it been since you played in weather like this?

TOM HOGE: Unfortunately we had a lot colder than this at THE PLAYERS championship this year. It's just a tough day. It's cold and windy and a lot of hard holes out there.

Q. Could you take me through No. 7.

TOM HOGE: Yeah, I was just trying to get up there somewhere on the right side of the green. I was surprised it came up short the second shot. I had a good lie in the bunker on the upslope, so I could kind of throw it up there towards the hole. I flew it a little further than I would have liked, but pretty cool for that one to go in.

Q. What's the rest of your day like?

TOM HOGE: Go warm up. Just get inside and go hang out.

Q. Everything you learned this week, is there anything you would do differently, in terms of club selection, strategy around this course, given what you learned?

TOM HOGE: Not a lot. I would say I felt pretty comfortable going into it and still have liked the game plan. I just wish I could have made a few more putts and hit a few shots closer here and there. But just a little better execution.

Q. And what will your mindset be going into tomorrow? Do you have a goal in mind?

TOM HOGE: Not really. It looks like we're going to have some good weather finally. So just go out and try to play well and get some momentum for going into next week.

Just enjoy the experience here with family and friends that have all come out. Pretty cool to be here on Sunday at the Masters.

Q. You have a a big group here?

TOM HOGE: Yeah, for sure. I guess they're all used to this North Dakota weather. Tomorrow will be a nice day for us. We'll get some sunshine and some heat back.

Q. By the way, have you decided if you'll play the 3M?

TOM HOGE: I will play the 3M. I'll play the Scottish Open and the British for the first time over there and then come back for the 3M.
