HUMANA CHALLENGE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CLINTON FOUNDATION


January 20, 2013


David Lingmerth


LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA

Q.  Talk to me about the playoff hole here, what you were trying to do with that shot.
DAVID LINGMERTH:  I hit a good drive and I had a good distance to go for it with my 4‑iron.  Unfortunately, the ball was quite a bit above my feet, creating kind of a hook lie for me.  And I don't know, it just ‑‑ I didn't feel that comfortable over it, obviously.  I just hit a bad shot.  I wish I could have it back, but, oh, well.

Q.  Everybody seems to birdie out here.  Were you thinking eagle on the hole or birdie to stay alive?
DAVID LINGMERTH:  Charles hit a great shot in there, so I knew I had to hit a good shot to have a better eagle chance, of course.  But I really wasn't thinking that.
I've been in a few playoffs before and sometimes they're over quick and sometimes they go for a longer time.  And I just tried to tell myself to be patient and not go for that eagle shot or whatever.  But just with that lie, I couldn't quite get comfortable over the ball on the second shot.

Q.  Regardless, you shot 62 today.  Did you expect that you could have a chance to be in such a position as the playoff started?
DAVID LINGMERTH:  Actually, even shooting 62, I didn't think I would be in a playoff because the way Scott played all week, I thought he was going to run away with it.  But I was fortunate to have a chance here, and I'm sure I'll learn from it looking forward to the next opportunity instead.

Q.  Reflecting back now, do you look at this as a positive?
DAVID LINGMERTH:  Absolutely.  This is my second start on the PGA TOUR, so T‑2 is not a bad tournament.  It's pretty good.

Q.  Does this change your expectations or the way you look at the early season going forward here, such a positive result so early?
DAVID LINGMERTH:  Yeah, I mean, we'll see.  At first, I was thinking that I needed to play as much as could here in the beginning.  And while I'm hot, I'm going to keep playing.  But maybe I'll feel a little bit more comfortable taking a week off here and there now.
