U.S. AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIPAugust 12, 2014Sam BurnsJOHNS CREEK, GEORGIA Q. Talk about today where you had seven birdies and a bogey. Great round. SAM BURNS: Thank you. I knew I could come out here and attack. I knew this course was a little bit easier than the Highlands, so I felt like the way I was hitting it, I could put myself in good position to make some putts and I did that. So pleased with it. Q. What was the thing that got you jump started today? SAM BURNS: On 2, kind of hit in the left bunker and wasn't looking like very good position and hit a really good shot to six feet and made it. I think that got me some momentum going early. Q. How about the run on 12, 13, 14; what did you do well on those three holes? SAM BURNS: Yeah, I knew those were good birdie holes. Got lucky on 12. Taylor (ph) was right next to me and literally like the balls were almost touching. He gave me a perfect line and made that one and hit 5-iron to the middle of the green on 13, the par 5 and 2-putted. 14, I got lucky and made a 30-footer. Q. You possibly could be the medalist when the day is over. What would that mean to you? SAM BURNS: Oh, that would be awesome. Coming into this week, I just wanted to make it to match play. Got to survive the first couple days, so to be in the position I am, very pleased with it. Q. You've got a high seed; does a high seed mean a lot to you or it's not a big advantage going into match play? SAM BURNS: I'm not really sure. I mean, it makes you feel good about yourself, the way you played the first couple days, so I think confidence-wise it's definitely a booster there. But I think it comes down to just playing one-on-one with somebody. It's really not a big deal. Q. Besides the fact that you're playing different courses, what was better about your game today than yesterday? SAM BURNS: Put myself in better places off the tee. Gave myself better looks on the green. So capitalized on some of those putts. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
