INSPERITY CHAMPIONSHIP


May 5, 2013


Gene Sauers


THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS

Q.  Basically just tell us what happened at 15.
GENE SAUERS:  Felt pretty good over the tee shot.  I pull‑hooked it left out‑of‑bounds and then did the same thing on the next two shots, but it stayed inbounds and then I 3‑putted.  Hit a bad chip shot and 3‑putted.  Gave the greens a little too much respect, thinking they were really fast, gave them too much respect and left it way short and I 3‑putted.  That's two big numbers in two tournaments that I've let get away.

Q.  How about, you come right back and birdie 16, so eventually gets you into a playoff?
GENE SAUERS:  Yeah, Smiley (ph) told me, just birdie the last three.  Sure, it could happen and I hit a good shot 7‑iron in there on 16 and made the putt, probably 15 feet.
You know, 17, I didn't hit a good shot, and of course 18, I was in‑between clubs all three times.  I just wasn't comfortable.

Q.  What happened back there with the ruling by the tree?
GENE SAUERS:  Well, my right foot was in ant bed, so got relief from that.

Q.  You hit what second shot?
GENE SAUERS:  I hit 8‑iron and didn't catch all of it, and of course you saw the results.

Q.  On 15, it wasn't a great tee shot like you said but you hit the downslope and that didn't help you at all?
GENE SAUERS:  I don't know, just a bad swing.  I felt good over the tee shot, that's just a stupid mistake; to make a big number like that is just uncalled for.

Q.  I know you 3‑putted, were you still thinking about the tee shot when you were putting out or had you already forgotten about that?
GENE SAUERS:  Yeah, a little bit, saying, how could you do just a stupid thing.  I would have been better blocking it right in that bunker over there, but that's golf.
