KOHLER, WISCONSIN
Q. Do you feel like you're right back in it with the way the wind is picking up and everything.
BRAD BRYANT: I don't know. I didn't even look at the scoreboard. I know that -- I felt like if I could get a birdie coming down the stretch I would be close to the lead at the end of the day. And I didn't. And then I bogeyed 18.
So I got to believe I'll be five back starting tomorrow. That's my guess. Pretty far back.
Q. Are you unhappy with your position?
BRAD BRYANT: No, no, I mean my goal every week is to be close enough to the lead that if I shoot my very best round, I win. And so that's, we're right there. If I shoot my very best round tomorrow, we win.
On this golf course, shooting my very best round is going to be almost impossible though.
Q. (Inaudible.)
BRAD BRYANT: I got a really good bounce off of 17 and I bogeyed 18. So I don't know that I could call that a hiccup, without a hiccup. Those holes are playing real tough.
The 17th hole, I played the hole nicely and hit a real -- it was just kind of I hit a putt that was, I hit it way too hard. It hit the flag and stopped and I tapped it in. So I was lucky enough to make four there.
Then the last hole I felt like I was a little unlucky not to make a four or have a good putt for birdie. So it all evens out.
Q. How far was that first putt? Maybe 40 feet?
BRAD BRYANT: Too far. A long putt. It was a long putt. And on these greens, you kind of expect the ball to take off a lot of times and it doesn't. It's hard to get the ball all the way to the hole without hitting it eight feet by on those long putts. So I have left, today I left a lot of putts short right on line.
Q. Just the nature of the grass?
BRAD BRYANT: Well, I think it's just -- I don't think the greens are quite as fast as they look. It's hard to get a real feel for them. There's so much slope and all that out there that, gosh, you never know whether you're putting -- a lot of times you feel like you're putting downhill when you're really flat. That's kind of the way I feel about it.
Q. Still 1-under, even par would be holding serve, that might actually move up in this stuff, right so under par is pretty good?
BRAD BRYANT: Any time you shoot under par in a U.S. Open you've done well. I mean that's, I don't care where you are. So I'm not at all unhappy with the way I played.
