HP BYRON NELSON CHAMPIONSHIP


May 18, 2014


Marc Leishman


IRVING, TEXAS

Q.  Up and down final round you come away with a 68.  What do you take away?
MARC LEISHMAN:  Start the day off exactly how you wanted to, the first 10 holes, and then a few bad shots.  Missed on the side where you can't miss it on 11, hit it left.  Bad hit on 13 and 15, just a tough hole, so it was a great week.  In third at the moment.  Pretty disappointed.  I gave myself a real good chance and I just didn't pull the shots off.

Q.  Why have you been so consistent?  Seems like every year you're third, top‑12, year in and year out you're comfortable.
MARC LEISHMAN:  I'm not sure, maybe I like playing in the wind, a lot of the tee shots here just I like the look of.  I stand up and feel like I'm going to hit a good shot.  Not all golf courses are like that for me, so that's a good feeling.  A lot of left‑to‑right tee shots here.  So maybe that has something to do with it.  I can read the greens here pretty well, general.  Yeah, it's just a fun place to play, great crowd, great golf course and get looked after really well by the Byron Nelson people.

Q.  I don't know if you peeked at the leaderboard to know where you're at, but when you were on 11, 12, 13, that stretch?
MARC LEISHMAN:  I knew I had to get to 12, I figured that would be good enough, but having said that, I hit a few bad shots and wasn't in a position where I could afford any bogeys, maybe one but not three in five holes, or whatever I had.  It's disappointing but I knew where I was standing.
I normally do.  I just didn't pull the shots off.

Q.  Marc, can you go through an overview of your week, please?
MARC LEISHMAN:  It was a good week.  Played three and a half ‑‑ or had three and a half good days.  The back nine today wasn't exactly what I wanted.  Hit a couple of bad shots that really
weren't that hard a shots.  It cost me a bogey and I probably should have been making birdies on the holes that I bogeyed.  So that was pretty disappointing, but having said that, I'll probably still finish in the Top‑5 and it's better than the last few months.  I haven't made it that far up in the finals in the last few months, so it's good to get back in the hunt and I would like to make a habit of it over the next few weeks.
THE MODERATOR:  Thanks, Marc.
