THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP


May 12, 2012


Matt Kuchar


PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA

Q.  Talk about going into the final round of THE PLAYERS.
MATT KUCHAR:  It was exciting, a lot of birdies and a lot more bogeys than I normally make.  But I knew today was going to be a tricky day.  I knew there were going to be a lot of bogeys.  I knew there were dangers around every corner.
It was nice, I felt like every time I made a bogey, I bounced back with a birdie.  It seemed to be a great day as far as not letting the bad holes bother me.  I think that's one of my strong suits; today it came in really helpful.

Q.  After conditions changed during the round, did you have to adjust?  Wind looked like it kicked up in the middle.
MATT KUCHAR:  It kicked up in the middle but died down a little late there.  I was pretty excited to see the wind die down.  Unfortunately didn't help me much; on 17 I found the water and played the last three 1‑under.  Those are three holes you never know but hope to make a birdie on 16, and then survive 17 and 18.

Q.  You made the turn, hit the longest drive of the day, maybe longest drive ever on 10. 
MATT KUCHAR:  That's not like me.  I cut the corner and just rolled‑‑ it was a hot ball.  It rolled through the fairway and into the rough.  Rough is not fun to be in.  Hit a great shot short of the green and hit it to 20 feet and to make that, was an excellent birdie.

Q.  Mentally, you were kind of grinding away.
MATT KUCHAR:  At that point it was three in a row on 10.  I had some good things going and bogeyed 11, the par5.  I didn't play that well on the back side.  I bogeyed 11 and parred 16.  But after the bogey on 11 bounced back with a birdie on 12 and 13 and bogeyed 14 and birdied 15.  It seemed like it was a lot of back and forth.  It's one of those things, you're going to have those holes, and I was real glad that I was hanging tough and able to bounce back with some good holes.
