ZURICH CLASSIC OF NEW ORLEANSApril 26, 2012Cameron TringaleAVONDALE, LOUISIANA COLIN MURRAY: All right. Cameron, thanks for joining us here in the Interview Room at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. 7-under, 65 start off here. Got off to a bit of a rough start but then 4 birdies to close. If could just talk a little bit about your round today and we'll go to guess. CAMERON TRINGALE: I got out of the gate nice, a couple pars and then on the third hole I missed the green to the right and I chipped up pretty close and just kind of misjudged the wind, but from then on, it was just fairways and I'd say greens but the truth is I missed a few but my short game was really tidy, was always chipping it up to tap-in length and just putted the ball well. . When I had chances to make birdies I was making them and made a couple 20-footers as well. So, turned into a good day. COLIN MURRAY: We were talking on the way over here, you come in off a two Top-10 finishes, the Shell Houston Open and the Valero Texas Open last week. Talk about your form coming in and your approach this week and then we'll open it up. CAMERON TRINGALE: My game felt really nice for quite sometime and don't know how to explain it. Just playing with a little confidence and it goes a long way in this game but everything is in order and, you know, I feel comfortable off the tee, iron game is pretty solid and my short game has just been really fantastic the last couple months. So, bringing it altogether and I can have some good weeks. COLIN MURRAY: Okay. We'll go to questions. Q. Can you explain, other than the two Top-10s, the confidence that you're playing with now, what has turned things on for you? CAMERON TRINGALE: I guess I feel comfortable with my game so I guess I don't feel like I have anything I'm trying to avoid. I can just go out there and try to hit the shots that need to be played and be confident that I can hit them instead of trying to play away from certain shots. I feel comfortable hitting them all. And my short game has been really good. That always frees you up to, you know, maybe be a little more aggressive with your approaches. Q. Talk about closing with four straight birdies and now you finished with 8-under on the last 14. CAMERON TRINGALE: Yeah. On 15, that flag was really tough spot on the left and I was honestly just playing short and right of it and I made a 25-footer up the hill. And then 16, I was in the bunker and I hit a great little chip 8-iron from like 120 to about ten feet. Holed that. And then 6-iron on 17, 20 feet, made it and 18, played right down the middle. I had a weird yardage. I decided to play it left of the bunker and try to pitch on. And I didn't really think about the four birdies when I finished. "Wait, how many was that?" It's nice when you go and get in those zones and you're just seeing the shots and that's really what I was doing all day. Q. Can you give us just a little bit about your background? I think you played college golf at Georgia Tech and just give us a little more details about who you are. CAMERON TRINGALE: I grew up in Southern California. I have an older brother who plays golf and growing up we were -- we always played together. I was always trying to beat him. He's two years older. Love competing. And so we played a lot growing up and knew I kind of wanted to play in college but wasn't sure and I got the chance to go to Georgia Tech and from then decided that I was going to focus on playing golf professionally, hopefully out on this Tour, and I had a great experience in college, stayed all four years and played on some good teams, had some good teammates who I learned a lot from and you know, I got out of Q-School my first time and tried -- just trying to get better. And it's a tough game. COLIN MURRAY: All right. Cameron, thanks for you time. Play well the rest of the week. CAMERON TRINGALE: Thank you. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
