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.
