BOB HOPE CLASSIC


January 22, 2011


Greg Chalmers


LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA

Q. (Inaudible.)
GREG CHALMERS: I think this is probably the tougher out of the four golf courses. I started off solid. I was 1-under through five or six holes, and then I hit it out of bounds.
I hit a really poor drive off the 15th hole, and I made a double, made a good double in the end. Played the hole nicely after that. But also I tried to -- I was staying calm because I felt like I've been playing nicely, managed to come back in 4-under on that front nine.
There's birdies out there. Certainly on the front nine if you can drive the ball in play, it gives you a lot of short shots in. So overall I'm pleased with the day.

Q. Did you find something there on those last nine holes?
GREG CHALMERS: Not really. The shot I hit a poor shot on I just didn't do what I have been doing. I just didn't get as set as I have been over the ball, and I hit a poor shot. So I was determined not to do that the rest of the day, and I played pretty solid after that.

Q. How do you feel about your position going into Sunday? As of now, you stand three shots back.
GREG CHALMERS: Yeah, currently, I guess, it could be extended further, I guess. They're playing Nicklaus on the other side, and PGA West, so there's birdies to be had out there.
Look, I think ultimately I'm going to have to shoot a low score tomorrow given the amount of guys who are within that distance. I would think I would have to shoot at least -6 or -7 or possibly -8 tomorrow. But I get a chance to do that, so it's kind of exciting.

Q. Do you feel confident about going maybe low 60s tomorrow?
GREG CHALMERS: So much of that comes down to whether or not the putts go in for you. I think I've been hitting good enough shots to shoot that kind of score. So if the putts drop tomorrow, that will happen. If they don't, it won't. I got to hit that first one down the fairway and go from there.

Q. How would you rate your game coming into this tournament?
GREG CHALMERS: Coming in, I couldn't rate it anything. I haven't played. I've been sitting around having a fat time in the offseason, not really doing a lot. I came here expecting to have to work to find my game, but practice went well prior to coming here, and I've been pleased to see how it's all come together.
