SAINTE-JULIE, QUEBEC
DAVE SENKO: Brad, thanks for joining us today. 65 today, let's get your birdies.
BRAD BRYANT: A 65 today, that wedge shot on one, that was what got me going. Nice putt on 2 and then 3 and 4 I hit wedges to about four inches from the hole, just tap‑ins there.
5, I made a nice 4‑footer for birdie. The par3, I hit a really nice shot about 12 feet and made a birdie there. I don't even remember what holes‑‑ the holes kind of all look alike to me. At my age it's hard to remember each one.
Then I birdied 7 and 9. I don't remember what I did on the 7th hole. But 9, I hit a really nice shot on 9. Hit a 9‑iron about six or eight feet.
Bogeyed 10. Made a mistake off the tee there. We sort of miss‑read the wind, at least I did. We hit the wrong club.
Birdied 11. Hit a bad second shot but hit a really nice putt there coming down the hill. Probably about a 12‑footer. Made a real nice putt there. Bogey at the par3 No. 13. I hit a beautiful 5‑iron there, and the greens were very firm and my ball just trickled off the back of the green into a little hole.
I was only a foot and a half off the green, and I took a pretty healthy swing at it. I don't think I could have swung any harder. Only moved it about eight feet. Got it on the green and hit a real nice putt. Sometimes you make bogey.
I birdied 16 and 18 coming in. 16, the par5, I hit it just off the back edge of the green in two and chipped it down to two feet. 18 I hit a really good shot out of the left rough just to the back fringe and made kind of a long putt there, probably a 20‑footer to finish with a birdie on 18.
Q. When you made your birdie on 9, did you know that you had moved into a tie for the lead at that point with Calc? Did you look at the leaderboard at all?
BRAD BRYANT: We saw a leaderboard, and I knew that I was tied with‑‑ I think there were two or three guys. 10‑under was not going to win. We knew it would take‑‑ I thought that 12 to 14‑under might have a chance to win and I got to 12 and so I'm very happy about it.
But you know, at that point, you just‑‑ I played such a good front nine. I got myself into the tournament, and then it was a matter of trying to stay there on the back nine, make a few more birdies.
Calc is such a great frontrunner that you kind of know that he gets his momentum going, and he's really hard to catch. I made nine birdies today and I'll bet he made more than I did. So it's hard to know. He's amazing that way. I know he eagled 16; he makes birdies and eagles.
Thank you very much.
