U.S. SENIOR OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPJuly 12, 2012Fred FunkLAKE ORION, MICHIGAN MODERATOR: Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Fred Funk. He shot a 67 and was 3 under par for the Championship. FRED FUNK: Okay. [Singing] Play that funky music white boy. Play that funky music right. Q. Is that your song? FRED FUNK: That's it. [Singing] Lay down and boogie. Okay. I'm sorry. Q. Talk about your round today and how the course played. FRED FUNK: It played great. I played really solid. The front nine, the first five holes, I birdied two of the first five, and I just burned the edges on the other three and had really hit just perfect putts and really got off to a solid start. It could have been a ridiculously good start. I turned 2 under, and then I birdied 10 and 11 so I'm off and running. Then it's obviously the part of the golf course you kind of got to hold on. And I played pretty good. I made a really good up and down on 12 after hitting a bad chip, which is obviously a really hard hole. And then 14, 15, the par 5, I just messed up that hole entirely. Hit a bad drive, bad second shot, bad third shot, bad chip, and a bad putt. Made bogey. It was my only bogey all day. 16, I made a really good par save. And then 18, I hit a really bad drive in the straw way, way left and two‑putted from short of the green, which was really good. So other than messing up 15, I really saved a lot of shots with 12, 16 and 18. I made some good pars. So had opportunities early. I had opportunities to make bogeys late and saved them other than on 15. Q. With two guys shooting 5 under today, there are definitely birdies out there on the golf course tomorrow? FRED FUNK: Absolutely. The golf course‑‑ I only got to play nine holes each day, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I wasn't hitting the ball very good. My back's still bothering me for the first time in a long time, and I've kind of been working more in rehab than I have on my game. I was real pleased with the way‑‑ I was really pleased with the way I was stroking the ball early because I was hitting my lines and hitting my speed. I just kept ‑‑ they did everything but go in those first five holes. I played pretty solid overall. I made some good saves You can't be too pissed with a 67, that's for sure. Is that it? Uh‑huh? Q. I liked your music, man. FRED FUNK: I did too. Q. Sing it for us? FRED FUNK: No, I don't have a good voice, obviously. See y'all. Thanks. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
