QUICKEN LOANS NATIONALJuly 30, 2015Steve WheatcroftGAINESVILLE, VIRGINIA Q. Steve, obviously a good round of golf. I really thought you held things together. You missed 7 greens, you were 7 for 7 scrambling. STEVE WHEATCROFT: Yeah, I definitely -- I worked hard on the putting. My caddy took a picture the other day when I was putting. I've been having a hard time of lining the putter up. I noticed something that kind of clicked right away. Went to the putting green, worked on it. Sure enough that was it. I was hoping it was going to carryover to the 1st Round. Q. 23 putts in this opening round including 116 feet of putts. STEVE WHEATCROFT: I'll take that. Yeah, I know I didn't have many because I was missing greens. I didn't hit the ball quite as well as what I wanted to today. Got off -- I started driving it a little squirrely for the first five, six holes but was scrambling really well and yeah, anytime my putter gets hot I usually putt pretty well. It's nice to have it back again. Q. You know your position, 104th in FedExCup Points. We have The Playoffs up coming. A lot of big events. Your card is secured for next year. I know you have the opportunity to really make a move in these late events. STEVE WHEATCROFT: Definitely. I had goals that I've definitely not achieved and year-end kind of position also where I wanted to finish. I've got a ways to go. Not a bad time to start to get hot and get the putter going again. Hope I can have a good week this week and the next couple of weeks. Try to get on the around for The Playoffs. Q. Looks like the course is really receptive. STEVE WHEATCROFT: The greens are soft enough. The balls aren't really bouncing. You can kind of flag hunt. Because the fairways are soft it's holding the tee shots in play a little bit longer than if they were firm and running. I see the guys going low this afternoon as well. Q. Well played. Go get yourself some air conditioning. STEVE WHEATCROFT: Thank you. Can't wait. Q. Is that common for your caddy to do pictures and stuff like that? STEVE WHEATCROFT: We were just looking the other day. I was on the putting green. I don't know, I have been struggling with the putter. I haven't been able to line it up properly. Didn't look right to me. Hands got high and kind of lowered the hands a little bit and the putter all of a sudden started to work. Kind of open and shut again. Made a huge difference. I mean I think I hit pretty much every putt today exactly where I wanted to. We might have misread a couple, the speeds were off on a couple. To see the ball coming off exactly where I want every time again is very nice to see. Q. Preferred lies, did it make much difference this morning for you guys? STEVE WHEATCROFT: I don't think it made much of a difference. Didn't for me. I had good lies in the fairway or hit it in the rough around the greens and got them up and down from them. It will definitely make a difference. Guys are hitting in it divots. If you're getting perfect lies and you can kind of play for the down-grain parts of the fairways so the club is not watching it. It will make a little bit of the difference. Depends on how much rain they get this afternoon and these guys get mud balls. It will make a difference FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
