U.S. SENIOR OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP


July 7, 2007


Brad Bryant


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.
