PGA CHAMPIONSHIP


August 8, 2014


J.B. Holmes


LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY

J.B. HOLMES:  I needed that finish for sure.  Got off to a really, really rough start early.  Just putter left me for a few holes and misread a couple of short putts and raining, before you know it I was 5‑over.  It was good to be able to finish strong on the back.

Q.  How much was a factor was the weather?
J.B. HOLMES:  I mean, it was definitely a factor.  It's harder to reach the lies on the grass and sometimes in the fairway, it sticks in the ground a little bit more.
When it's raining, it's a little bit more difficult.  Right now it's not too bad.  Hopefully the afternoon guys will get a little rain on them too.  We had about nine holes of it.
It's definitely a factor.  Still some people that played okay out there.  You can still get it.

Q.  Did you make any adjustments?  What was the biggest difference for you?
J.B. HOLMES:  I started making some putts again.  I had some good opportunities on the back, and I made them.  And just starting out on the front, I missed a short putt on‑‑ just missed a few iron shots in the wrong spot, got a couple of bad lies misread a couple of short putts and it can get a way from you real quick.

Q.  Was the putt on 2 just a momentum turner?
J.B. HOLMES:  That definitely helped, helped to get it together.  Probably the biggest putt, I made a 15‑footer on 6.  I was sitting there at 1‑over and I had 15‑footer for par.  If I miss that, I go to 2.  I made that and was able to birdie the last three.  So that was a big putt for me.

Q.  Does it start to weigh on you after the back nine that you might not make the cut?
J.B. HOLMES:  I mean, you think about it when you start getting a couple over.  I knew I had a few to play with.  I'd rather it gone the other way today.  But I knew I could put a good score up on the front.  I thought even was the number, when I turned I was at 2‑over.  I definitely thought I could get 2 on the front and ended up getting 4.  Take that for sure.
