KITCHENAID SENIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIPMay 24, 2019Mike MilesRochester, New York Q. You held it together on a tough day for scoring. It wasn't -- it was great for weather obviously. MIKE MILES: The course is just hard. Q. Just plain hard, huh? MIKE MILES: Yeah. It's hard. And if you get off the fairways, whether it's by the greens or in the fairway, it's a whole different ball game. You're trying to basically almost not make double bogey and make sure you make 5, so everybody, our whole group and this and that. I started hitting the back end of the fairway at the end of the round, so I got a little relaxed. And then saw that the cut was real high, so I started to make some -- I was a little tight this morning. I'm not -- this is -- you know, I don't play tournament golf, so, you know, I'm playing well, but get a little rusty. Q. After 69 the first day, do you just sort of say, well, I can try to be steady the second day? MIKE MILES: Yeah. Q. That's all you try to do? MIKE MILES: Just try to hit good shots. Q. Yes. MIKE MILES: You know, not really -- you always -- I -- at least I always try to think, well, I like to climb the leaderboard like I would if I was whoever, you know, a name player, but then you got to turn back around as you just hit a good shot, hit a good putt, and don't get ahead of yourself. Just like you always hear on TV. Q. Sure. MIKE MILES: Same for me. Q. The last hole, how far was that par putt? I mean, excuse me, birdie putt. Excuse me. Birdie putt. MIKE MILES: That was probably 30 feet, but it was a tough putt because it was up and then downhill. And the greens were a little hard to read, the up and the down today, I think just because the sun kept changing. I've got contact lenses and old eyes, so I missed a couple of the breaks on the green, so I had a couple of three-putts that I normally wouldn't have. Other than that, I think for me it was a real solid, solid round. Q. As you know, tomorrow everybody gets an early start because of the rain coming in later in the afternoon. And so it's just a matter of, like you said, dealing with it and just trying to play calm and patient? MIKE MILES: Yeah, I'm going to switch gears, you know, it's great for me to make the cut, as much as, you know, that might not be a great goal, but for me I get to play two more. Now I can kind of relax and it doesn't mean a whole lot to me. My life doesn't change unless I won the tournament. If I finish 5th, I still go back to work and have a great place. So it's kind of going to be fun for me. Some of the other guys, you know, it's a little different. They're still playing solid. So it will be a great time for me.
