AT&T PEBBLE BEACH NATIONAL PRO-AMFebruary 10, 2013Chris KirkPEBBLE BEACH, CALIFORNIA Q. You gave it everything you had, you shoot 66 and actually lose ground to Brandt. He was pretty strong out there this week? CHRIS KIRK: Yeah, we've had a lot of tournaments like that on TOUR this year where somebody has really just kind of blitzed the field. I felt like I played well enough to win a golf tournament, and came up a little bit short. But I'm really happy with my day. Q. I really admired the way you played, I thought your pace between shots was very good and I thought you were really in the moment the entire day. CHRIS KIRK: Yeah, my focus was great today. Just probably a little bit of a slow start, having to wait a little bit on the first couple holes, but yeah, I just felt comfortable. I felt really great about my golf swing all week, so that's just kind of put me at ease. Q. 15 greens with 27 putts is always a nice combination. CHRIS KIRK: Yeah, that's not bad. That's not bad. Q. Talk about your West Coast Swing. You finish fifth at the Sony and now a second place finish here at the AT&T; one of the better starts you've ever had on TOUR. CHRIS KIRK: Yeah, absolutely, especially with an equipment change, changing over to Callaway; I love the new stuff and felt really good about my game. Q. What were you last year? CHRIS KIRK: Titleist. Q. Are you a scoreboard looker or not? CHRIS KIRK: Yeah, I looked some today. I don't really pay that close attention to them, but yeah, coming down the stretch there, I was looking at them just to see what I thought I might node to get to. But I was staying aggressive and trying to make birdies the whole way. Q. When you look back at 9 and 10, was that the difference for you? CHRIS KIRK: Yeah, I had a great attitude about it though to be honest with you. Yeah, I was disappointed that I made those bogeys but I hit a really good par putt on 9 and just miss‑read it a tiny bit, and got the speed wrong on 10 and 3‑putted. Yeah, I kind of looked at the board after that and still, not sure what I was at at that point, 13 maybe. Brandt was at 18. And he had gotten off to such a good start, I kind of thought, it's going to be tough for him to take it much lower than that; if I can just get it back to 18, I'll have a pretty decent chance at a playoff maybe but came up a little bit short, and I was wrong anyways.
