PGA GRAND SLAM OF GOLFOctober 24, 2012Webb SimpsonSOUTHAMPTON, BERMUDA WEBB SIMPSON JULIUS MASON: Webb Simpson with quite a day today, 65. I think you have to be pleased with that. Did you just kind of run out of holes to catch Pádraig? WEBB SIMPSON: It's hard to say. He's playing well and he made the putts you've got to make. I think the turning point for us was kind of the 10 through 13 stretch. I had some good looks and played them even, and he played them 3‑under. He played great. Made a big putt on 16. But I'm really encouraged with how I played today. Wish I could have probably had that shot back on 18, the iron shot. I just came out of it. But overall, good day, and you know, it's been a great week. JULIUS MASON: Can you talk about weather conditions today versus yesterday? WEBB SIMPSON: Yeah, I can't believe the weather. I didn't bring an umbrella and I guess I knew what I was doing. Today, it just blew a little less and in a little different direction. I think today played a little easier but pins were a little tougher today so maybe it evened out. Q. We heard you remark on the closed‑circuit feed on 11 and 12, both putts, a foot from the hole looked like they were in and both missed. Talk about both of those. WEBB SIMPSON: The greens were really good, really true. They were just, you know, I usually have about one putt like that every three tournaments. I had two putts I hit in a row that were a foot out; the ball is in the middle and you think it's going to stay straight. Kind of gut‑wrenching those two holes, to have those looks and thinking I'm making birdie. But I didn't second‑guess my reads and we kept doing what we were doing. Only bad putt I hit all day was 15. I didn't get set over it and pulled it. Overall, putted pretty well today. Q. The shot at 18, what did you have left in and what did you hit? WEBB SIMPSON: 18, we had 162. We thought it played about 170. I hit a 7‑iron and just kind of came out of it. My weakness this year has been when I'm in between clubs and I try to smooth one, my body kind of shuts down, doesn't work as well and that's what happened. So it's just an eye‑opener that I've got a lot of work to do in the off‑season, because you're going to have four or five shots a round where I'm in‑between clubs. So I learned from it. I wish I could have putt a little more pressure on Pádraig, but he'd probably have 2‑putted if he had to.
