Sepp Straka

Quick Quotes

Q. You've kind of been through all the conditions today. How tough was that to have things changing? What were the big challenges?

SEPP STRAKA: Yeah, it was really tough. The wind was strong and you still couldn't figure out where it was going. It was swirling a lot, especially down on the bottom part of the course, and that makes it tough, especially when the course is such small sections around the greens, you have to be precise and you don't really know where the wind is coming.

Q. What were the main challenges?

SEPP STRAKA: 11 played really long. Down there I would say was the toughest, 11, 12, 13, 14, kind of the bottom part of the course where you really just didn't know where the wind was coming from, and it was just swirling a lot but still blowing about 20 miles an hour.

Q. Days like this is when the experience of Augusta counts a lot, having been here in all kinds of conditions and weather. What kind of things have you been learning before that you were able to used to?

SEPP STRAKA: Yeah, for sure, definitely. This is the perfect time to take advantage of that because you're going to miss shots and you just need to know where to miss them.

There's definitely places you can miss them and be fine and some places where you can't miss. I think this definitely helped out a little bit. It was still hard to execute, though.
