THE PRESIDENTS CUP


September 28, 2017


Hideki Matsuyama

Charl Schwartzel


Jersey City, New Jersey

Q. What was it like on the first tee, so many people around, the wind blowing, presidents in your audience; must have been a big challenge?
CHARL SCHWARTZEL: It was. It was one of the most exciting moments of my life, standing there. I was looking forward to this Presidents Cup for a very long time, and I didn't expect all the presidents to be there. Just to get to meet them was a dream come true for me. You know, then obviously to hit that first tee shot with the wind pumping off the right was quite intimidating.

But I thought I made a pretty good swing.

We made some bad errors during the middle of the round today.

Q. Is this a case of you want it too much for Nick today or just wasn't good chemistry the way you expected?
CHARL SCHWARTZEL: I think it was really tough. The conditions really wasn't easy. There was a few key moments where things changed. One was on the fourth hole. Their ball, Rickie and Justin's ball pitched about a foot over the bunker. It looked like we might actually win that hole; end up losing it.

I hit a bad shot on 7 in the water. And then you give Rickie and Justin, which are both unbelievable players, playing good golf now, you give them just a little bit of momentum, they are hard to catch.

Q. Tough conditions in general. Rickie made the big chip at 3. What did that do for momentum?
HIDEKI MATSUYAMA: Yeah, we really didn't get into our game today. Just the rhythm just wasn't there.

Q. Any thoughts why?
HIDEKI MATSUYAMA: I'm not really sure. I'm sure Charl and I will talk about it and hopefully we can fix it.
