SILVIS, ILLINOIS
STEVE STRICKER: You got to make the cut to be able to try to win the tournament. That's always my first goal, believe it or not, in tournaments: Make sure you're playing on the weekend.
Q. Talk about today's round. Another good one for you.
STEVE STRICKER: Yeah, you know, it was pretty good. Had a little hiccup right out of the chute on No. 11, my second hole of the day. Drove it down there with a wedge in my hand and missed the green.
I've done that two days in a row off this lie, same lie both days in row. Missed the green to the right and didn't get it up and down. Missed a five‑footer. Kind of wasn't the start I was looking for. I was hoping to get a birdie before I got a bogey ‑‑ or no bogeys at all.
But I hung in there. I was patient and hit some good shots. Made a nice long putt at 13 and birdied 14, so I righted the ship pretty quickly and got her going in the right direction.
Q. Do you feel like you've put yourself in position for the weekend?
STEVE STRICKER: Yeah, very much so. I think right now leading is 13, so I'm three back; yesterday I was 4 back. If that stays the case, I actually picked you up a shot on the lead.
And there is a long ways to go. That's the other thing. There is a lot of good players and a long ways to go, so I just have to keep doing my thing.
I need a low round. That's what it's going to take. One of these two rounds on Saturday or Sunday I'm going to have to put up a real low one and get right in there.
