BEN CRANE: Bogey on 11. I hit it in the right trees, tried to slice it around the trees. Hit a tree, went dead backwards about 70 yards and I hit like a 5 iron for my next shot up on the green, 2 putted.
Anything else exciting?
Next hole I tried to hit a good shot, and a guy said it hit the tree here, and went in the water there. I said, all right, are we having fun yet? I think I played that hole 15 times in my career, and probably about 13 or 14 over par on it. So I had to play off to the right.
I birdied on 6 no, on 16, there. Yeah, I hit a good drive out of the right side and a wedge and hit it to two feet.
And then I birdied 2, 5, 6 and 9.
Birdie on 2, knocked it up close to the green, chipped up to a foot.
The next par 5, I got it on the green, and hit a good bunker shot to a couple of feet. Tap in birdie.
The next I hit a 3 iron wood, 8 iron up the hill. Do you guys really want to hear this stuff? It was like when I was six years old, I'd take my parents blow by blow through the round. They're about to fall asleep. I always think you guys are bored stiff.
The last hole is kind of funny. I hit a 5 wood off the tee. I didn't hit a tree. And I had 185 yards in it. I don't know how that's possible, but if you hit a foot behind it I just chunked it, it was unbelievable. There was nothing I could do but laugh. I hit a high 6 iron over the tree and knocked it in 20 feet and made the putt. My caddie started laughing. He said that is ridiculous.
Q. Are you going to try to play it that way tomorrow?
BEN CRANE: For some reason I like that 100 yard shot a little better than that 200 yard shot.
TODD BUDNICK: Thank you, Ben.
