MASTERS TOURNAMENT


April 12, 2013


Thorbjørn Olesen


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.
