MERCEDES-BENZ CHAMPIONSHIPJanuary 3, 2008Brandt SnedekerKAPALUA, HAWAII Q. Most first-timers that come here, usually they don't find a lot of success, but for 16 holes today you were right at the top of the leaderboard. What worked for you? BRANDT SNEDEKER: My wedge game was great today. I was able to drive it well most of the day and leave myself just a bunch of short irons into greens and I made some good putts. You do that, if your wedge game is on, you can shoot low. Hopefully tomorrow I can do the same thing. Q. Some technical difficulties on 17, what happened? BRANDT SNEDEKER: I've had that driver for a long time, and I guess finally it had too much and cracked on me, and the ball ended up going 180 yards right in the middle of the water. I thought I hit a great drive. But that happens. Unfortunately it happened at a bad time, and 18 was no fun playing a 660-yard par 5 with 3-wood off the tee. No complaints, though. That's going to happen. I'm glad it happened today and it didn't happen on Sunday. Q. When you take a look back at what you accomplished last year, Rookie of the Year, the win, surprised at all how quickly you came out here and made such a big impact? BRANDT SNEDEKER: Yeah, definitely. I certainly didn't see it coming. I thought I had the game, I thought I could compete, but to come out here and have that kind of rookie season was something I really wasn't -- didn't get myself up for, but now that I'm there I have to work even harder now and make sure I don't slump back and keep improving. Q. Goals for 2008? BRANDT SNEDEKER: Ryder Cup is first and foremost in my mind. To represent your country is such an honor. Azinger is the captain. If I get Ryder Cup taken care of, it would be a pretty unbelievable year and something I'm looking forward to. Q. Taking your driver out of the bag. Did you have something in reserve hopefully? BRANDT SNEDEKER: I've got a backup but I've never hit it so we're going to find out. I'm probably going to get a couple sent over here so we're not freaking out on the range tomorrow trying to find something that works. It's a great driver, I've loved it for two years. I guess I'll have to switch now. End of FastScripts |
