THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP


May 10, 2013


Lee Westwood


PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA

Q.  How important was it to get off to a great start like you did?
LEE WESTWOOD:  Yeah, well, I got off to a‑‑ well, a slowish start yesterday.  I felt like I could have been 2‑under after 2.  But then I had a lot of patience and then birdied three of the last four holes last night, and then wanted to come out today and get off to a quick start and build on last night's finish.  Unfortunately I missed from about four feet at the 10th hole, my first, but then fortunately I went eagle‑birdie‑birdie and got right into the round and the tournament.  I was pleased with the way I played.  I'm pleased with the way I played over the first couple of days, no bogeys, really solid stuff, hit a lot of fairways and hit a lot of greens, and when I've needed to I got up‑and‑down.

Q.  How did the course play this morning as opposed to yesterday afternoon?
LEE WESTWOOD:  Well, in the morning there's a little less breeze, although it wasn't flat calm this morning.  It's a little bit more scorable.  Obviously the greens are a little bit softer early on, but it's starting to firm up out there, and I would imagine it would be very tricky at the weekend.

Q.  You're right on the top of the leaderboard.  What do you do between tonight and tomorrow's round?
LEE WESTWOOD:  I'll go on the range and just hit a few balls and try and keep my swing in sync and do a bit of putting and a bit of chipping but not more than that.  It's a bit warm and it's a long week, this, so you just try and conserve energy.

Q.  Over two days is this the easiest this course has ever played?
LEE WESTWOOD:  No, I don't think so.  I've played here before I think I was 10‑under after two rounds.  When there's no breeze around here and it's soft, then you can score, but I wouldn't say it was by any means easy out there.  You have to play well and hit a lot of fairways so you can attack the flags.
