THE BARCLAYS


August 23, 2013


Fredrik Jacobson


JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY

Q.  How do you feel after your round?
FREDDIE JACOBSON:  Yeah, I'm very happy, off to a good start again, and really happy I got into the right‑‑ whatever holes I played yesterday, but yeah, I feel like I'm playing tournament golf again.

Q.  How did the course play today?
FREDDIE JACOBSON:  Yeah, it was pretty soft.  Obviously we teed off after the rain yesterday, it was pretty soft yesterday and it can stop pretty quick.  I think it's drying up nicely.

Q.  How do you think where you stand with everyone else, it's a crowded top?
FREDDIE JACOBSON:  Yeah, there's birdies on the par 5s, and especially for the long hitters can get on in two.  I think you just have to keep playing well and giving yourself chances.  The course is rolling beautifully, and if you play well, you can make a few putts.

Q.  (Inaudible.)
FREDDIE JACOBSON:  Yeah, wind was picking up a little bit at that time, and I went with a hard 9 and just jumped at it and really pulled it and buried it into the bank off the bunker.  I wasn't really sure if I could stop it on the green.  I didn't know if I had a shot, and I thought, I've just got to give it a shot, and it came out.
I was lucky, it came out perfect, and gave myself a 20‑, 25‑footer for par that I managed to make.  Really, a bonus after a poor approach shot.

Q.  The drive on 13, down by the water?
FREDDIE JACOBSON:  Yeah, I mean, that one just took a big kick.  It was actually going up the right‑hand side.  Just kicked on the back of the bunker and took a huge bounce forward into the left.  It was good for me.  It only left a 6‑iron.
So, I'll take it, but it didn't look like a massive bounce, which we aren't expecting in the conditions now, but I'm glad it stopped short.
