THE BARCLAYS


August 25, 2012


Greg Chalmers


FARMINGDALE, NEW YORK

Q.  Talk about your round today.
GREG CHALMERS:  Yeah, I've been driving the ball beautifully all week.  I drove the ball really nicely again today.  First time in my career, the first two days I was No. 1 in driving fairways.  I've never done that before it's a good golf course to do it on.  Today I made some key putts for pars and birdies.  The greens are getting really baked, very firm and very tricky from six and eight feet.

Q.  Are the speeds different?  A lot of 3‑putts that are awkward for touring professionals?
GREG CHALMERS:  I know 8 was ridiculously quick at the back there.  I had 20 feet that I rolled six feet by and Bubba 4‑putted from 30 feet.  It was like glass back there.  There are a couple that are slightly faster than others.  It's just really baked in some areas, and they put the pin there, it's another foot and a half faster yes.

Q.  If you were the public that lived in New York, would you want to play this place on Monday?
GREG CHALMERS:  Yeah, but I love a challenge (chuckling).  I think it would be good for them to see how difficult it is, because this is a great test right now.  The only thing missing from a U.S. Open is about half an inch of rough.  You'd better drive in play or you're in trouble.

Q.  Pleased with your start for the week?  Good to get off to a good start in these things?
GREG CHALMERS:  Yeah, at this time of the year in the Playoffs, it's about playing well right now.  I'm thrilled with the position I'm in right now and I have to go out and play well tomorrow.  I'm really excited about where things are going at the most.
