MASTERS TOURNAMENT


April 7, 2023


Matthew McClean


Augusta, Georgia, USA

Quick Quotes


Q. I know you wish you had two more days, but can you sum up the week and what it meant to you?

MATTHEW McCLEAN: It's great. I thought it would be two or three, so probably going to miss it by four. Could have easily stayed an extra day or two.

It was tough. I was happy with the way I played and battled at the end to make a lottery 4 at the last there, which is a great way to finish.

It's a great week. Just relax and get to go out and watch a bit of the golf and enjoy it. The week's been great.

Q. The mistakes that you might have made out there, were they more not knowing the course, were they mental, or were they execution shots?

MATTHEW McCLEAN: I think where I missed it in the wrong place, I knew as soon as I hit it. I think I sort of knew the course as well as I could going into it. I made a couple doubles, three doubles over the two days, and that was pretty much it.

If I could have turned those three doubles into bogeys and saved one other, then that's all it was. Overall, pretty happy.

Q. I know your goal was to be low am, but it looks like Sam Bennett may be running away with that. Did you see what he's doing?

MATTHEW McCLEAN: I don't think anyone thought anyone could go anywhere near that. I think if you just make the cut round here, you have a fair chance of winning it. I think if he shoots 4-under, 4-under? Yeah, that's unbelievable. I don't know, is he the only amateur making the cut? Possibly.

Yeah, if he's playing like that, like he deserves that. I wasn't getting near 8-under through two rounds.

That's unbelievable. I'm sure if he plays like that as an amateur, he'll be back one day as a pro. Fair play to him there.

Q. Where do you go from here?

MATTHEW McCLEAN: I was just going to relax over the weekend, and then I fly home on Monday. I've got a tournament out in Spain for Ireland Sunday after. So just have a few days off, relax, just enjoy the rest of the weekend. Then sort of back to playing golf.

Obviously not going to be quite as high as this, but it will still be a really good competition against really good players. A couple days off and just back at it really.

Q. We might see you at Erin Hills again someday?

MATTHEW McCLEAN: If they'll have me. I'm sure if I'm in the area, I'll call up for a game. Would love to head back, yeah.
