THE GREENBRIER CLASSICJuly 3, 2014Chris StroudWHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, WEST VIRGINIA Q. Overall impression of your round today? CHRIS STROUD: I left a few out there, but the golf course is in great shape. Fairways are a little soft. But I played solid. I got a new driver in play. I drove it very good. I hit a couple of loose shots, but I don't think I made a bogey, if I can recall. I don't think I made a bogey, so that helps. Hit a lot of good shots. I had a lot of 9‑irons for some reason. Same shot today. But the wind's down. It got a little windy on the back 9, but I would say played solid. I mean finished really strong. I mean 4‑under‑‑ I feel about 4 or 5‑under is how I played, but it really was only 2 until the last two holes. I birdied the last two holes. But I putted strong. Definitely struggled on the greens with the speed. The greens are a little slower‑‑ they look really fast and they're not, so I want to go putt a little bit and figure it out. Q. And then just talk about your shot on 18. What did you hit? CHRIS STROUD: It was right in between 9‑iron and 8‑iron. We adjusted 156 hole which is a perfect 8‑iron, but it was a little downwind. I teed up an 8‑iron, tried to hit a really high 150 shot, just really soft. And it came out just perfect. So best shot of the day. Nice to finish a little 2. Q. And then lastly, what do you have to do to keep it up this week? CHRIS STROUD: Gotta keep the ball in the fairway. This driver is really good. You know, I think the last six months I've learned that over the week my swing gets looser and looser with the long game. So if I can keep my long game nice and tight and keep hitting fairways, I know I'm going to hit a good. I always wedge it good. I always chip it good. I all's putt it pretty solid. So gotta maintain my driver. Keep the ball in the fairway, make sure my long stuff is really good. Q. And you have a new driver? CHRIS STROUD: I got a new driver. It's great. Q. What kind? CHRIS STROUD: Yeah, it's a TaylorMade Slider, SLDR S, the new one, the gray one. And I got it all fixed up, and it's awesome. It's actually better than the one in my game I've been playing with for eight months. So I'm really excited about it. I drove it great today. I mean I think I only hit one or two bad drives, which is really good for me. I mean that's what I struggle with. Hit a lot of good ones, especially under the gun and I hit an awesome shot on 17, 2 85 hole and I hit it on the green in two with my little slider, mini driver. So really strong. Good way to finish and see if I can shoot about three more of those.
