U.S. AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIPAugust 12, 2014Sam HorsfieldJOHNS CREEK, GEORGIA Q. Good for the Match Play; what was the difference today? SAM HORSFIELD: I had a stretch through the middle of the round, 15 and 16. I just hit a couple bad shots. I made double on the par 3, and then bogeyed the next hole. So there's 3-over in two holes. Just hit a couple bad shots. But I hung in there pretty good I thought. I could have let it go pretty easy after that but just hung in there pretty good, and match play. Q. Did you come into today saying, I've got a little bit of cushion to deal with? Or did you just try to keep the focus? SAM HORSFIELD: I kept trying to play like I played yesterday. Obviously I didn't play as good. Like I said earlier, I made mistakes. But you know, it was nice to have a cushion where when I hit it in the water on 15, I wasn't really -- I was mad, but I wasn't too -- I don't really know how to explain it, like I wasn't too frustrated. It was kind of more like a bad shot instead of -- yeah, you kind of know what I'm saying. Q. Was there a point in the round where you said to yourself, it's obviously not going as well as it did yesterday; I've just got to find a way to get it through. SAM HORSFIELD: Yeah, it was a grind today. I made a couple good up-and-downs. I made a great one on 2. Hit it long left in a bunker up against the back slope on this downslope to a back pin and made a great up-and-down and hit it to six feet and made the putt. That was kind of a huge putt right there to keep me -- I think I was 4-under at that point for the tournament, kind of kept me there. 3-under is kind of cutting it close. I think the cut is probably going to be 1-over. There's a couple tough holes coming down the stretch on the front nine, so that was a huge one right there. Q. Disappointing to kind of quote, unquote, lose the lead? SAM HORSFIELD: It would have been flies to be medalist, but obviously I didn't come here to go ahead medalist for stroke play. But match play time, you know, anything can happen in match play and I'm looking forward to it. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
