PUERTO RICO OPEN PRESENTED BY BANCO POPULARMarch 21, 2008Bo Van PeltRIO GRANDE, PUERTO RICO BO VAN PELT: Like I said yesterday, you know, when I decided to come down here, wanted to try and take advantage of coming down here, you know, I didn't want to just waste a trip, and so I was definitely focused coming in, even though spending a lot of time with the family, I definitely want to make it worth my while, so it's been good so far. Q. (Inaudible). BO VAN PELT: Wasn't really different. The wind was a little different direction, so you had to watch that. I got a little bit tentative on the back 9. I fought on a couple swings and had to kind of nick that in the bud and go ahead and stay aggressive, and did that when I came over to the front side and was able to make quite a few more birdies. Q. (Inaudible). BO VAN PELT: No, they are good. I left a couple putts short today thinking they were a little bit faster, I got a couple down wind putts, and down grain, that I left short. So you just got to pay attention to your speed. You know, grain makes a difference. I had a long putt on 9, last hole, and I knew it was into the grain, so I had to hit it a lot harder than I wanted to, you know, even though it was downhill, so you have to factor all that in, the wind, the grain and everything. Q. (Inaudible). BO VAN PELT: Maybe like Charlotte a year or two ago, Wachovia was probably the last time, if I had to guess, just off the top of my head. Q. (Inaudible). BO VAN PELT: I played pretty solid. It was tough conditions, it was kind of windy and rainy, and I think I still finished top 5, or right around then, and hung in there, I just didn't make as many birdies on the weekend, and it's a tough golf course, Quail Hollow, so I was proud of how I played there with the lead and stuff, it just wasn't my week. Q. (Inaudible). BO VAN PELT: Yeah. You know, I think just -- I was happy how I played the front 9. I wasn't real happy when I came off 18, I had 230 or something and didn't make birdie there, which I wasn't real happy about, and then didn't make a very good drive on 1, but kind of calmed myself down and hit a good iron shot there, and got off on the right foot, so I think the way I played the front 9 will help me going into tomorrow. Q. (Inaudible). BO VAN PELT: 14 for me, I hadn't hit the green yet. I hit two really good drives and I made a bogey there today. I actually hit a very good shot, just came up a little bit short on my second shot, so (inaudible) hole, that's the one I had a birdie putt on, I missed the green there twice, it's a good, long, tough hole. So 13, 14, 15, pretty good stretch. 12, I mean, the start of that back 9, 11 through 15, really good stretch, and then you kind of get down wind 16, 17 and 18. Q. (Inaudible). BO VAN PELT: Birdies and bogeys. I birdied 11, made a long putt there, first long putt I have made all week, up and over a slope, it was probably 40 feet. And I bogeyed 14 and came up just short of the green and hit a pretty good pitch, came up about three feet short and I missed it. And then 1, I hit a 7-iron to about five feet; 2, hit it in the green side bunker, chipped it out to probably five feet and made it; bogeyed the next hole, hit a poor wedge shot, came up short, missed my first putt way short, missed about a 6, 8-footer for par there, three-putted. Then I birdied the next hole, hit an 8-iron to about 10 feet. And then the par 3, I hit a 5-iron to about 10 or 12 feet and made it, missed a close birdie putt on the next hole, 7, and then hit another 5-iron on 8 to probably 15 feet, probably 12, 15 feet. Q. (Inaudible). BO VAN PELT: No, my kids don't care how I play. It's the same routine. It's all about them and what they are doing, so the golf just kind of gets in the way of their fun, so I will be going off their schedule. Q. (Inaudible). BO VAN PELT: Last night we ordered pizza and just ate it out in the grass, so it was pretty much a redneck picnic in Puerto Rico. So I don't know what we are going to do tonight. It will probably be something similar. End of FastScripts |
