JOHN DEERE CLASSICJuly 12, 2007Bob MaySILVIS, ILLINOIS Q. Staying away from that fitness trailer now? BOB MAY: No, I go to that fitness trailer every day. Q. You said you hurt yourself working out? BOB MAY: Yeah, on a Life Cycle of all things, just warming up. My hip had a spasm, and it caused my back to have a muscle spasm and just really messed me up pretty good for a while. I thought my back went completely out on me again, and went and had MRIs and everything done, and everything came back fine. So it was just a really severe back spasm. Q. That's just kind of the way your luck has been running the last several years, isn't it? BOB MAY: It is. You know, I get on a roll and there's always something kicking me down, so hopefully there will be nothing to kick me down this week. Maybe I can get on a good roll and keep it going the rest of the year. Q. Talk about starting fast and getting out here with the lead today. BOB MAY: You know, it's fun to come out and make a good putt on the first hole. I've been working on my putting, so that gave me some good vibes right off the bat. I struck the ball well, just kept on giving myself chances at birdies. Q. Bogey-free round up until that last hole. Talk about the last hole. BOB MAY: Yeah, the last hole, I was just trying to draw a 7-iron in there and I pulled it a little bit left, and then obviously it was a right-to-left wind and it just turned over more than I wanted to. If there was probably no wind, it probably might have caught the edge of the green, but with the wind -- it was a bad shot. Q. After the round satisfied to be where you're at? BOB MAY: Sure, I'm satisfied. I played solid. I might have left some out there, might have had some not go my way. Q. Hard to keep your frustration level in check? BOB MAY: You know, I can't get too frustrated. A couple years ago I wasn't even swinging the club. I was on bedrest for almost three years, not bedrest but golf rest for three years, so I can't be too upset. Q. That was the back, right? BOB MAY: Yes. Q. What did you have to do to get that back? BOB MAY: I had to have surgery. I had surgery. I had a spinal nerve canal that had to be routed out from L3 to S1. Q. They had you lay out for -- BOB MAY: I was on bedrest for ten weeks after the surgery. So I didn't basically touch a club for almost three years, two and a half years. Q. Did you feel like you had something going when -- in 2000? BOB MAY: Yeah, I felt like I had a lot of momentum going in 2000. Just little things set me back. But I'm hitting the ball -- I feel as well as I did back then, and if I start putting like I was back in 2000, I think we'll have good things happen. End of FastScripts |
