PUERTO RICO OPEN PRESENTED BY SEEPUERTORICO.COM


March 8, 2013


Scott Brown


RIO GRANDE, PUERTO RICO

Q.  Start off talking about what was going good out there.
SCOTT BROWN:  Man, I got off to just a very normal start, birdied both par‑5s on the front.  Was hitting it good.  And then I holed a shot out on 7 from the fairway with a 7‑iron.

Q.  About how far out?
SCOTT BROWN:  I think I had roughly 170 to the hole.  It was the next par‑3 I made like a 50‑footer for birdie and then hit it to an inch on nine and kind of just jump started my round.
Birdied 10, and then I kind of went astray a little bit with some iron shots, but I made some good up‑and‑downs.  I missed like four greens in a row, got three out of four up‑and‑downs and birdied both par‑5s coming in on the par‑3 on 16.  So just a solid day.  I hit it well, putted it well, got it down when I needed to to keep my momentum going.

Q.  Is this something you've been needing this year, you think, some breaks like that to maybe get things going?
SCOTT BROWN:  I mean I played really good all year.  You know, I played decent at Pebble when I got in there and then I played the last two weeks on the Web.com Tour.  I finished third in Panama and seventh in Bogota.  I haven't been making a lot of putts, but I've been hitting it really good and a lot of the putts haven't been going in, I think good putts.  So I knew it was coming.  This week I just putted really well.

Q.  What's your thoughts on going into tomorrow then, the weekend?
SCOTT BROWN:  I'm just going to keep trying to do the same thing.  I played well here last year, so I'm kind of trying to feed off last year's momentum a little bit and really just hit ‑‑ I'm driving it well, so I've kind of put myself in a good position off the tee, being aggressive into some greens.  So hopefully the putter will stay hot.

Q.  You're in the last pairing tomorrow.  Have you been in a final pairing on the weekend in recent?
SCOTT BROWN:  I don't know.  I've been close.  I don't know that I've been in the last.  I think I've been in the last few a couple times last year.  But it'll be a new experience.  I'm looking forward to it.

Q.  Back to the putter, have you done anything different this week?  Make any changes?
SCOTT BROWN:  Not really.  Just kind of just freed up.  You know, I just said ‑‑ I just tried to make it simple.  Just try to look where I want it to go and putt it there.  Kind of trying to get rid of all of the mechanical ‑‑ I guess mechanical stuff in there.  Just go back to feel and just putt it in.

Q.  Is this your first time playing here or have you played here?
SCOTT BROWN:  Last year.

Q.  Is there something about the course you like?
SCOTT BROWN:  I don't know.  It fits my eye really well.  I finished fifth here last year.  I played good.  It's just ‑‑ I think Bermuda is one thing, I grew up in the Southeast, Augusta, Georgia, so I guess Bermudagrass is kind of home to me.

Q.  Yeah, I've heard a lot of that this week.  Everybody is happy to get back on the Bermuda?
SCOTT BROWN:  Absolutely, yeah.
