AUGUSTA, GEORGIA
Q. Details on 18 if you don't mind, clubs, yardage?
THORBJORN OLESEN: I hit a 9‑iron for my second shot. I had 145 meters, 160 yards, I guess.
Q. How close?
THORBJORN OLESEN: I was probably 15 feet.
Q. Do you think at the end of the day that's going to be good enough?
THORBJORN OLESEN: Not really, no. I gave it my best today. I hit a lot of great shots, but it's probably going to be a couple too much. But I had the chances to make it, but I didn't take them.
Q. What happened yesterday?
THORBJORN OLESEN: I played some great golf yesterday, especially on the front nine, and hit so many good shots. But these greens are tricky, and it's my first time here and I didn't really figure them out. Hit a few bad shots on the back nine and got max punished for them.
But I think I've played well, but my short game has not been good enough this week.
Q. How is the neck?
THORBJORN OLESEN: The neck is better, but I'm still on a lot of pills and getting a lot of treatment, so it's not perfect, but I can play golf now.
Q. Disappointed at the way you were hurt right before this and‑‑
THORBJORN OLESEN: Yeah, very. I'm very disappointed. I've played really well. Obviously at Bay Hill I felt like my game was going the right way, and Houston in the practice round I was playing really well. So it was a couple steps in the wrong way unfortunately. That's probably why my short game was not good enough this week.
Q. What's your schedule after this?
THORBJORN OLESEN: A week off and then I'm going to play New Orleans, Zurich.
Q. And then back to Europe?
THORBJORN OLESEN: Back to Europe for Wentworth.
Q. Did the course play a lot different for you being the first group out today? Obviously you had a nice 70.
THORBJORN OLESEN: I think the pin placements were trickier today, but we got a lot of rain, and that made the course easier, unfortunately, and it was starting to firm up out there. But hopefully it stays really windy.
Q. The scores are a little higher today, mostly just because of the wind?
THORBJORN OLESEN: The wind and the pin placements are definitely trickier than yesterday.
Q. What's your overall assessment of this golf course?
THORBJORN OLESEN: It is extremely hilly. It's difficult to see on TV, but yeah, it is. But it's been really special for me to be here, but unfortunately I didn't play good enough.
