U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP


June 15, 2007


Richie Ramsay


OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA

Q. Are you happy with the way you played today?
RICHARD RAMSAY: I played well but I made some mistakes. I hit some really good golf shots on the back nine and felt really comfortable with my swing at last. Obviously with the cut dropping, it is a bit of a heartbreaker not to make it.
I think it wasn't today, it was yesterday that really kind of got me quite hard, shoot that kind of number with the preparation that I've got was inexcusable. I feel like more capable of shooting a lot better number than that. Just goes to show, when you're not playing well, you've got to grind it out.

Q. What were the highlights today?
RICHARD RAMSAY: I think probably just hit a really nice shot into 5. Hit it stiff with an 8-iron. Hit the shot and finished that pretty much perfect, a couple feet.
When you do that and you know that your game is on and you're working hard mentally to do that -- that was a nice little putt.
Unfortunately I made double on 7, but I played it smart and I ended up 3-putting. I chipped on 8 for birdie and made a really good up-and-down on the last.
So I think under pressure coming down the last few holes, I knew I had to do something, and I did it. I know I'm going to call on that again and hopefully next time it's a different outcome.

Q. The experience of playing with Tiger and the defending champion, does that give you any confidence?
RICHARD RAMSAY: It does but this year it's been tough in the fact, the way I swung the club and the scores I've shot, the way I swing it, it looks really good. But the scores I've shot have been not acceptable. I'm sure all of you know that on the golf course, confidence is a huge factor, especially on a golf course like this you need to be mentally focused and in the zone.
I just need to go out there and show people I'm capable of doing it. I know that I am, but it's just that I need to sit down and work out what the problems are. I know I've got the game to compete. I need to play to my strengths.
