TV Interview

Q. Bryson, not the result you wanted today. Is there one thing you can pinpoint that didn't go your way?

BRYSON DECHAMBEAU: I think it was a testament to the whole week, even from the first round being 1-over early and not getting anything going.

I felt like I had the game to win this week, and golf course suited me pretty well, missed a few putts coming down the stretch and got a little unlucky in this great game of golf. It kind of is what it is. I'm sure you heard me out there really baffled quite a bit.

It was a good fight, good battle, take a lot from it. It's just burning a bigger fire in my belly.

Q. That's what I was going to ask. You've been right there now through the first two majors of the year. Does it feel like you let them get away, or is it building towards something as you go and defend your title at the U.S. Open?

BRYSON DECHAMBEAU: I'd say it was a bit of both. Definitely had an opportunity to beat Rory and definitely had an opportunity to give Scottie a run this week. Even though I was leading into the third round -- or after 16 holes on the third round, but man, I just didn't get it done.

I've got to learn how to be a little more precise with the wind, not let the wind affect the ball as much. It's a tough task to do because I laid it so high and the ball just kind of moves it in the air. I've got to figure that out.

I've got some tricks up my sleeve that I'm going to be working on and hopefully bring for the U.S. Open, but I've got to get some equipment here soon.
