SHELL HOUSTON OPENApril 1, 2012Carl PetterssonHUMBLE, TEXAS April 1, 2012       An Interview with: Carl Pettersson Q. Crazy sun. You got off to a great start. Had a couple of par saves that you really needed, and then the putts just wouldn't fall after you gave yourself a lot of chances. CARL PETTERSSON: Yeah. I played good. I played really good today. Very difficult. I couldn't make a putt on the back-9. I gave myself good chances coming in. Just a little pissed off I left it short on 18. I had a good chance coming in, couldn't get anything to go. Q. You gave yourself a ton of chances. Did the course change much as the round went on? Did it get a little firmer and faster? The drive at 17 actually bounced. I saw the shot bounce. CARL PETTERSSON: Yeah, that was a long drive. It did firm up a little bit. Seems like the wind was moving around a little bit which made it quite windy. I don't know how the scoring was today. Q. Wasn't very good. CARL PETTERSSON: Hunter played great to win. I wish I could have been in a playoff. Q. Again, second 2nd of the year. Now, he what that means in one way, but in another way means you're playing really well. CARL PETTERSSON: Yeah. Exactly. I'm a little disappointed right now. Overall my game was good. Hopefully I can build on this and probably get a win soon. Q. Keep up the good work. Thanks so much for your time. CARL PETTERSSON: Thank you. Q. 18 the putt was tracking. CARL PETTERSSON: I decelerated on it. I hit two great shots. Good tee shot and good second shot. I thought it was a quicker putt, but I decelerated a little bit on it. It was right in the middle, but you know, 18 is a difficult hole. Still in the back of my mind, I didn't know what Hunter was going to do. I should have given it a better run than I did. Q. I guess it's one of those that you see at night when you're trying to go to sleep and stuff, that putt? CARL PETTERSSON: Yeah. I wish I could have given it a better shot. What can you do. Q. 16 was another one. CARL PETTERSSON: Hit a great shot in there. Hit the putt exactly where I wanted. Didn't break down the hill as much as I thought. But I played good down the stretch. Couldn't quite make the putts, but it was fun playing with him.
