CAREERBUILDER CHALLENGEJanuary 21, 2018Sam SaundersLa Quinta, California Q. What was the secret today? SAM SAUNDERS: The ball striking was really good for the last three rounds. First day I struggled a bit, but I just hit it really solid all week and today was probably the best of the week. I struggled on the greens a little bit yesterday, but today obviously got a few putts to drop and that's always what makes, it turns a 68 into a 64. Q. Let's look at one of the putts at the 7th hole here. Describe this one for us. SAM SAUNDERS: Yeah, I hit a good wedge shot in here. It didn't spin back for me at all, so a slick putt here. But really kind of right down the fall line and I had gotten a great read from James Hahn and that one went right in the middle. Q. Here's the 9th hole. What was the difference in your game this week? SAM SAUNDERS: I think my game's come a long way, I've always been extremely uncomfortable here for some reason. I love the desert, but I just never played well here. I came into the week hitting the ball really well, so I felt like even though I've never even come close to making a cut here, it's been just a disaster for me, I just felt like I can't not play well this week, so I was glad to see it come to fruition. Q. Describe the 18th hole for us. SAM SAUNDERS: The 18th hole here as you can see from this tee shot is incredibly intimidating off the tee. I hit a 3-wood there today and I hit it right at my target, but you still get scared when you see it taking off that close to the water. Very intimidating. You're seeing a lot of balls in the right rough there. Then the second shot is equally as hard. With the pin today tucked over on the left you'll see a lot of balls short right here. It just takes two really solid golf shots and if you bail right off the tee you could have all kinds of trouble. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
