KIA CLASSICMarch 24, 2018Kris TamulisCarlsbad, California Q. What's been the difference for you this week? KRIS TAMULIS: Well, basically this is only my second event of the year. Last week I felt really bad over it on Thursday; then I kind of fixed it on the range after the round; then played really good on Friday, minus a triple; then I've just kind of continued that on. After my season last year, I took some time off and then I just looked at a lot of the video and spent a lot of time talking on the phone with my teacher and one of my best friends that helps me a lot. I just hit a lot of balls and just tried to sort it out. I have felt so bad like standing over it. I knew I was in a bad position before I would even hit the ball, and that's no way to play golf, especially out here. So I think I've also missed a lot of putts this week. I hit it really good, solid; hit my driver good. Q. You've missed a lot of putts and you're still where you are. KRIS TAMULIS: Yeah. Not short putts, like just I've left myself some really good chances and these poa greens can be a little bit testy sometimes. If you don't have the speed quite right they kind of take some hops. Q. So you've got the beer mug on your shoes. KRIS TAMULIS: Yeah. Q. Beer mug ball marker. KRIS TAMULIS: Yeah. Q. Do you only break that out when you go to a beer city? KRIS TAMULIS: No. I break it out when I'm feeling it, but beer mugs on my shoes for probably the last seven or eight years. Q. Right. I remember seeing those. KRIS TAMULIS: Yeah. Q. So have you enjoyed some beer here? KRIS TAMULIS: Yeah. We went to Ballast Point on Wednesday, two different locations. You know, sometimes the golf kind of gets in the way of a lot of other things that I want to do here in this area. That's a good thing, because if the golf is getting in the way it means you're playing on the weekend. So that's good. Yeah, there are a couple places that our (indiscernible) rep told us about, and I just haven't been able to make it there. Q. So you didn't feel good standing over the ball until last week? KRIS TAMULIS: Yeah, Friday. Q. And ever since? KRIS TAMULIS: Well, I've worked on it all winter and felt better over it. Thursday I think it was just kind of coupled with the wind and I was just like a little bit off in my setup. Oh, man, it was rough. I sent a video, and Thursday I worked on it and I felt so much better over it Friday. Started or with a birdie barrage and kind of took a bad shot on 16. That kind of derailed my efforts to make a big turnaround. But I can't be disappointed. I feel a lot better and feeling a lot more confident. Q. Do you like write stuff down? KRIS TAMULIS: Oh, yeah. I have a notebook in my golf bag and I keep all my feelings that I have pretty much like throughout the week or throughout the -- not necessarily the day, but after like a range session or something I write it down so I can kind of recreate that, because I literally forget everything. If somebody tells me once they have to tell me 100 times because I forget stuff. I need to always like write it down and read it to remember it. Q. Is that part of what you'll do now heading into tomorrow? KRIS TAMULIS: No. Probably just hit a couple putts. You know, it's been a lot of golf and it's a lot of work, so I'm not going to go beat balls or anything. I feel okay, so just hit some putts. I have a lot of stuff to do. I had my credit card number stolen this week. I just got that today. I got to drop off my rental car tomorrow morning. I have to switch out all those things that you put on one credit card, you know? Q. Yeah, yeah. Subscriptions and all that stuff. KRIS TAMULIS: Yeah. Like I've literally run out of clean socks, so... Q. Haven't been able to do that because golf is getting in the way? KRIS TAMULIS: Well, you know, I like to do my laundry at the end of the week. I think I'm one pair shy of socks for a week, so... Today is my laundry day. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
