THE NORTHERN TRUSTAugust 26, 2017Matt KucharOld Westbury, New York Q. How would you assess your round? MATT KUCHAR: Good. Doesn't get glowing reports. But I felt like I had a couple more opportunities on the back nine with short irons in my hand. I think it was 12, disappointed that I hit a wedge to 35 feet, and then make bogey on 14. I look at that as a birdie hole for sure. Other than that, it was a nice round of golf. Q. When you glance up at the board and you see another birdie from Spieth, what goes through your mind? MATT KUCHAR: I didn't. I just saw him post at 12, and it's a heck of a round of golf. Heck of three rounds of golf. Very solid around here. He's a great player. You kind of expect great players to do great things, and he's clearly on some good form. Q. When the leader has created a few strokes' distance, does that allow the rest of you to play more freely? Can you just play more aggressively or does it not change your strategy? MATT KUCHAR: I always feel like you do the best with however -- whatever you're presented with, and then let's take our example tomorrow; if I'm four or five, six shots back, I should be able to play more aggressively. But if I'm not on go form, I'm going to try to save a bunch of pars. So if you are playing well, you know, the goal is to go out and win a golf tournament. So you're a long way back, it's clearly not protecting second or third place. You're out there looking to win, and Jordan's created quite a gap between himself and the guys in second and chasers. It's going to take a great round from somebody to catch him. Q. How aggressive can you be here? Not you, but everybody in general. MATT KUCHAR: As aggressive as you wish to the point of stupidity. I mean, you kind of have to pick and choose your places. The course is tough. I don't know what the low round of the week is -- 6-under? Nothing record-setting. So hard to be -- you can always be stupid-aggressive, but you've kind of got to pick your medicine and when you actually want to be somewhat aggressive or when you want to take a 20-footer. Q. When were you last stupid-aggressive? MATT KUCHAR: Every now and then. Q. Maybe at 9? MATT KUCHAR: Chide myself on some decision I make but for the most part, no, I try to be on the conservative side. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
