THE SENIOR OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY ROLEXJuly 24, 2016Scott McCarronCarnoustie, Scotland Q. Thanks for taking the time. First and foremost, take us through the key stretch of the back nine, 16 and 18 coming in. SCOTT McCARRON: Well, that wasn't key for me. My birdies early in the round were key. Unfortunately the bogeys on 16, 18, cost me the tournament. Didn't hit a good shot on 16. A little back into the wind, just kind of cut it up into the breeze. Got a bad break getting in the bunker and I was in a footprint in the bunker. Hit a good bunker shot to about 18 feet and missed it. 18, I hit a good 4-iron and just came up in a very awkward stance, I'm standing kind of halfway in the bunker and the ball -- the putter was just so far back, it just shot right and I had a good putt and I hit a great putt, the second one didn't go in, so it was unfortunate. Q. From your perspective, it just feels like a couple breaks, if they'd have just gone your way. SCOTT McCARRON: Yeah, I didn't really have everything this week. I had a bad neck all week and was kind of playing around that a little bit. I just didn't putt all that well all week long but I kind of hung in there. I had a chance with a couple holes to go, so that's all you can ask for. Q. Sounds like a pretty positive attitude. Great outlook considering you weren't 100 per cent. SCOTT McCARRON: I think so. I couldn't even play on Sunday when I got here and on Monday I could barely play. I'm happy. I played well all week. I'm obviously disappointed bogeying 16 and 18. But that's the way it goes. I love being over here. Carnoustie is one of my favorite golf courses and to be able to play over here is really a great experience and I feel very fortunate. Q. Just looking ahead, what are you going to take most from this week? SCOTT McCARRON: Well, you know, that I was able to kind of hang in there with not having my A Game, I guess you could say. I was able to just kind of really massage my way around the golf course. Staying out of a lot of the pot bunkers off the tees. I 2-putted a lot from 50 feet a lot. I had that a lot, just trying to play the smart shots, and unfortunately we're going to come up a little short. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
