THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP


May 11, 2017


Dustin Johnson


Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

Q. How hard was it today to just kind of gain traction and maintain it?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: Yeah. I mean, my day is kind of summed up on the first hole when I one-hopped it into the flag and it came off the green and I made bogey. You know, I hit two perfect shots and I make a 5 on No. 1, then hit two good shots on 2, horseshoed a four-footer. That's just kind of how my day went. I could never really get any momentum. I hit some good shots, would lip out the putt.

You know, but all in all, obviously finishing under par is a good finish. I just kind of hung in there. It definitely played tougher later in the day. But feeling pretty -- I mean, I'm okay with the round. Obviously it could have been really good today but ended up just being okay.

Q. It's been a while since you've had a round like this --
DUSTIN JOHNSON: I mean, last week the first couple days was a little frustrating. I feel like the game is in really good shape. I feel like I'm playing really well. Today it wasn't easy. This course isn't very easy. A couple putts here, get a little momentum, and shoot 4- or 5-under. But you know, still 1-under, and I'm right there. Especially go out tomorrow morning, post a good score, and just put myself in position for this weekend.

Q. You had another horseshoe somewhere, didn't you?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: 12. 12 was a bad one, too.

Q. Expecting bad things to happen when you do things like that?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: Maybe on a day like today, I don't know. It just seemed like nothing was going my way. But you know, I still feel like the golf swing is in good shape. You know, just made a poor bogey on 10 and 15, but other than that, you know, I felt like I played pretty well today.

Q. Is it okay to have things not go your way and shoot 71 around here?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: Absolutely. It seems like everybody has one day around here where they struggle a little bit. To get it in under par is very good. You know, I'm pleased with it. I just need to go out tomorrow morning obviously and post a good score.
