Boo Weekley

Canyon Meadows G&CC

Quick Quotes

Q. Boo, great round of golf today. Just assess your round.

BOO WEEKLEY: I mean, the front side I had it cruising, you know. I felt good. I had a lot of my -- like the wedges and the clubs I had were perfect numbers. You know, it showed and I hit it pretty close and made a couple putts, too.

And then the back side I kind of got in between clubs and just kind of couldn't quite get it together. And then couple of ones I did get together, they came together.

Q. Shaking the rust off. Getting back out here. Getting your game in the right direction. You been working really hard. What does it mean to be in contention tomorrow?

BOO WEEKLEY: It feels good to finally be able to say the hard work I've been putting in is finally starting to show up and show a little progress. And thank you goodness Scott Hamilton back in in Cartersville, Georgia and my boys back there that beat me up all the time when I play with them amateurs back there.

They help me out a lot, and Scott has really showed me a bunch in the last I would say probably two, three times I've been up there working with him just trying to get myself back into the right position with my golf swing.

Q. We talked last week in Seattle about it being your one year anniversary. How important is it to see the golf courses for a second time now?

BOO WEEKLEY: To see the golf courses again is a big plus. You're starting to learn where to miss it at. If you're out of position, you know you can get it back into position to give yourself opportunity to get it up and down.

Granted, you're still going to make a bad shot. Ain't nobody making perfect shots. But to be able to see the golf courses again a second time a round is always making it easier.

And I hope to see it again and again and again.

Q. Is it, as the putter goes, Boo goes?

BOO WEEKLEY: Yes. I'm do or die with the putter mostly. Hit it close, five six feet, four, five times a round, if I don't make them kind of puts you in a lull for me.

At the same time you still press on. That's what you practice for, what we actually go out and grind for every day and every night. To make yourself better you got to understand how to handle the pressure; but at the same time, the pressure is what makes to golf game fun.

Q. What would a win mean for you tomorrow?

BOO WEEKLEY: Oh, it would mean a lot. I got a lot going on with my family, so, yeah. I ain't going on with it. Thank you, though.

Q. Did you get your bag?

BOO WEEKLEY: Yeah, got it Thursday about midday.

Q. So it was only one day you had to wear clothes...

BOO WEEKLEY: No, I wore Tuesday and Wednesday and then I got them Thursday. Yes, sir.

I'm telling you right now, if you ever run out of clothes or need clothes, ya'll go to Walmart. They got that Ben Hogan Collection. It's good.
