SENIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY KITCHENAID


May 26, 2013


Russ Cochran


ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI

Q.  Very tough finish for Kenny.  Did you notice what was going on?
RUSS COCHRAN:  You know what?  It's never a done deal.  I couldn't tell by the crowd, so last time I looked he was 12 under.  I didn't pay much attention to it.  And then I noticed everything was kind of quiet and I looked up and saw him at 10‑under.  But I'm not sure what happened.

Q.  He's fallen back even more.
RUSS COCHRAN:  Yeah.  You know what?  He's playing great.  He obviously didn't finish it off or whatever, but I know he'll take it tough, I know his family will, and their friends and everyone, but Kenny's a champion, man, and you don't win as much as he has and ‑‑ you know, he putts his mind to it, he'll win tournament after tournament out here.  So anyway, I feel bad for him, but the champion that he is, I know he'll be back.

Q.  Do you want to talk about your round today?
RUSS COCHRAN:  Just putting.  The whole week came down to putting with me.  I made a couple good bombs early in the week and kind of sporadically throughout, but one of the worst putting performances I've had in a long time.  Almost borderline yips with that short putter.  I don't know how many I had for the week, but I know it was a terribly high number.
And I hit it real good, I was real happy with that.  I think this is the second tournament I played in about maybe nine weeks or 10 weeks, something like that.  So I feel like if I kind of get that stroke back a little bit, that good things are going to happen for me.  But, boy, that putting was just slow motion just death hole after hole after hole for me.  I just felt awful.

Q.  Talk about the weekend as a whole.  This experience in St. Louis?
RUSS COCHRAN:  I knew it was going to be good here.  The people have such pride and such great fans, me being a big sports fan and Cardinals fan here as a matter of fact I've got a Mike Shannon bobblehead, the only one out right now, Mike gave it to me, sent it over for good luck.  So even with that I couldn't do any better.
But yeah, these people took care of us.  Everything but the food.  The food was so good I think I put on about six, seven pounds.  So I'm not real happy with that.  But service has been second to none, really.  Any tournament that I've ever been to.
I think it's, everybody needs to be congratulated.  The golf course is just fantastic and the tournament came off great.
