PUERTO RICO OPEN PRESENTED BY SEEPUERTORICO.COM


March 12, 2011


Hunter Haas


RIO GRANDE, PUERTO RICO

Q. Talk about that last hole there. Great putt at the end. Just kind of take us through it.
HUNTER HAAS: You know, the way that hole plays, I mean left-to-right wind, down, and everybody -- almost everybody shot I seen guys have hit, and they trying to start it straight, and it leaks right. And I said I'm going to turn this over and try to get it down there. And I did. I hit it straight and turned it over, but I didn't realize it careened off and then cart path and into the hazard that quick. I'll be more aware of that tomorrow.

Q. Got ya.
HUNTER HAAS: And I just had to take a drop and made a great par.

Q. And just overall, just take us through your round. You're a couple shots off the lead heading into tomorrow.
HUNTER HAAS: Kind of more of the same I did the last two days. I got off to a pretty good start. Front nine seems like a lot of good people are making birdies on the front, and on the back it's kind of just hold on, and if you hit a few close shots, you can make a few birdies in the back.
But honestly, I had probably three shots today that were bad -- either misjudged the distance or the wind and compounded with a bad shot and I ended up 50, 60 feet from the hole. And it put some stress on my putting. I had a three-putt on 13, and I had a couple -- that's all. I had a three-putt. But I just didn't hit as many close shots.
But the ones I did early, I had a good shot on 1 and made birdie; and 2, I did what you're supposed to do, supposed to hit it in the fairway. And it was playing downwind, so it was a 7-iron. It was basically a lay-up birdie. I knocked it on the green on 5, I knocked it on in 2 and two-putted for birdie.
Just basic stuff. I hit probably five really solid shots on demanding holes, par-3s, and other than that, I played pretty good. I played solid.

Q. So overall you're feeling pretty good about where you are?
HUNTER HAAS: Yeah. I don't like being three or four shots back from the lead. But I just -- I wish I could have come out. The number in mind I had was probably seven under today, and I figured that would be a good score and that would probably beat or tie the low round of the day. I don't know what the low round is.

Q. I think Troy's on that right now.
HUNTER HAAS: 6-under?

Q. Yeah.
HUNTER HAAS: So yeah, my thought was right. I wasn't far off. I was three shots off. Just gotta go out and try to shoot that tomorrow, keep the pressure on him.
