Quick Quotes
Q. They said they were going to set the golf course up more difficult this year. Did you sense a difference? You didn't seem to have a problem with it.
RUSSELL HENLEY: It seemed -- it definitely played a little longer, but on 14, they just moved the tee up and called it a par-4. I don't know. I felt like with it being lift, clean and place and somewhat soft compared to last year when the greens were brand new, it was a little bit softer, so it was just a little bit more gettable.
Q. Over 200 feet in putts --
RUSSELL HENLEY: Yeah, it's probably the most I've ever made.
Q. After you made a couple long ones, did it feel like everything was going in?
RUSSELL HENLEY: I just felt like I was at peace if I missed. I felt like I was clear on my reads. Last week I felt like I played really well and didn't give myself a bunch of looks because I couldn't figure out how far the ball was going and struggled a little bit on the looks of those greens, getting the reads down.
Just felt a little more clear in my mind on what I thought the ball was going to do and just felt like, yeah, at peace if I missed it. Just kind of free-wheeled it a little bit.
