RBC CANADIAN OPEN


July 24, 2016


Steve Wheatcroft


Oakville, Ontario, Canada

Q. The shot you were trying to execute from the bunker on 18, what was the mind-set?
STEVE WHEATCROFT: It was an easy shot to be honest with you. It was a perfect lie, sitting right in the bottom of the bunker. All I was trying to do was try not to chunk it out of there and let it run down the hill. I dug my feet in and realized there was zero sand underneath my shoes.

Obviously you can't test the surface. I mean, you can't play from that. I don't know how else -- what I could have done any different. It was an easy bunker shot. I actually said to my caddie, I was like, I think I can make this shot.

I hit it. I hit it kind of right where I wanted to and the club absolutely bounced off the sand. There was nothing in there. I took my club and raked around in there and for about a full yard in there, there was not even an eighth 1/8th inch of sand anywhere in there. It was just rock hard.

It's a brutal way to lose a golf tournament. I didn't feel like I did much wrong in there. I tried to cut the 4-iron in there and it didn't cut. I'm sure I had a little nerves going. I'm sure I kept it a little too far to the left but I knew the bunker shot was easy. Just wish there would have been sand underneath.
