U.S. SENIOR OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPJuly 14, 2012Tom KiteLAKE ORION, MICHIGAN Q. Obviously not the day you wanted. TOM KITE: Yeah, it was‑‑ you know, I played so well the first two days and especially putted well. Today, I missed six putts that I've been making, and that really was the difference. I started off missing a couple of makable putts early on and just never got my rhythm on the greens. The greens‑‑ I played yesterday afternoon and the greens were firmer and much, much faster. Today, they had watered them quite a bit, as evidenced by the good scores, and I just never got the speed of them. They were, I would say, a foot to a foot and a half slower reading on the stimpmeter today than they were yesterday afternoon, at least, and I just never got it. To go the whole day and not make a birdie, and I had some opportunities out there, but I had my first three‑putt on 15, hit a nice little 5 wood into the green, three‑putted the green just to kind of top off the day. So it was a struggle on the greens for me. Q. Did the frustration on the greens lead to pressing more and trying to do more with the irons and the woods? TOM KITE: Yeah, I needed to try to get some birdies going, especially with the low scores that were being shot out there. Yeah, I hit some errant shots coming down the stretch as a result of that. Q. All right. Well, thanks. TOM KITE: Thank you, appreciate it. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
