MONTREAL CHAMPIONSHIP


June 24, 2012


Brad Bryant


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.
