SENIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY KITCHENAIDMay 22, 2014Craig ThomasBENTON HARBOR, MICHIGAN Q. What did you think of the round today? It seemed like it went very consistent. CRAIG THOMAS: Yeah, you weren't watching though. It was up‑and‑down. One thing I haven't struggled with is driving the ball and today I drove the ball really poorly. Irons were good, putting, made a couple good par savings putts and kept the round going. Q. Where do you think you could have made up a few strokes looking back? CRAIG THOMAS: Well I bogeyed the first par‑5. 5 I think it is. I was 80 yards from the green. Just didn't hit a shot hard enough, come up in the rough, bad chip, bogey. I missed at least three or four birdie putts inside of 10 feet that just, you know, these greens are a little tricky. You don't see these little humps, little undulations and all of a sudden the ball starts going in the wrong direction. But all in all I did, I had a really, really good par save on 7. I hit my first ball in the hazard. I walked it out and I hit it to about 80 yards and from 80 yards hit it to about four feet and made it. Then I made about a, on 14? Yeah, 14. I made about a 30‑footer for par, too. So, yeah, it all evens out. But it was a good day. Q. What's your mentality heading into tomorrow? CRAIG THOMAS: I'm going to go spend some time at the range, try and drive it a little bit better and I feel as though even's about what I should have shot today. Could have been a little better, could have been a little worse, so hopefully tomorrow if I get the driver straightened out, I can get something into red figures. Q. What is it like to have a lot of people back in New York cheering for you this week and to start off here with par at the PGA Championship? CRAIG THOMAS: It's great. All the members have been extremely supportive of all my events, and especially this spring, we got off to a good start, won a few events this fall, this spring, they're all excited for me. So there's a lot of good things going on. Q. What has your practice been like the past few days here? CRAIG THOMAS: I had a good practice round Monday and Tuesday, believe it or not, I promised the president of my club I would play in the pro‑president event back in New York, so I flew home Monday night, played with him Tuesday, flew back here Tuesday night, and then had a good practice round yesterday. Q. So it's been a whirlwind week. CRAIG THOMAS: Yeah, it's been a busy week, but it's been a great week. Tuesday was a pro‑am here anyway, so the guys I'm staying with didn't get on the course until 3:30. So for me it was good. Par poor we had a good time back there as well.
