PGA CHAMPIONSHIPAugust 9, 2013Sonny SkinnerROCHESTER, NEW YORK Q. I guess obviously not the greatest week, but you got to play in another major championship, so how would you describe your rounds or your week? SONNY SKINNER: You know, just being here is a tremendous accomplishment, especially for a 53‑year‑old that qualified through the club pro ranks. Very appreciative to the PGA of America. You know, I had envisioned playing better than this. I know I can play better than this. I thought I was a straight hitter, but I didn't hit it very straight this week. I didn't hit enough greens. It was a pleasure to be here. I played with two wonderfully talented young men. They were gentlemen. The atmosphere of it all is so rewarding. I just wish that I had these experiences when I was younger. Q. Big crowds both yesterday and today. That had to have been fun to play in? SONNY SKINNER: It's distracting for an older brain. It is distracting. I catch myself daydreaming just standing there looking over a sea of people and listening to the roars go up, I'm saying, Was that Mickelson? Was that Scott? Who was that? All of a sudden, I haven't even gotten my yardage. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think I would be a good reporter, just keeping up with everything. I have no regrets. I brought a good friend up here to caddie for me. I stayed with some friends. I even had some members from my club come up and watch me play. All of that is extremely rewarding. Q. You finished on 9, right? SONNY SKINNER: I did. I finished with a birdie. I hit a beautiful drive down there and 24‑degree utility to about eight feet right over the bunker. I went for it, too. Normally in that situation I might bail out. Anyway, I stiffed it and ‑‑ I didn't really stiff it. Eight feet, but made the putt. Felt like a made the cut. Q. Good way to end? SONNY SKINNER: It was a wonderful way to end. I tried hard on every shot. I tried to give myself, put myself in the right mental frame of mind as best I could. My game just wasn't there, just wasn't there.
