NORTHERN TRUST OPENFebruary 17, 2013Bill HaasPACIFIC PALISADES, CALIFORNIA Q. Tough day, but you kind of came back at the end and finished, almost got yourself back in it. BILL HAAS: Overall the way I played yesterday, got off to a nice start today. Made a couple nice putts. I really felt good. Didn't think I could shoot over par, and then all of a sudden to be 4‑over par for the day, just kind of hit me and every shot, I wasn't comfortable, and didn't hit a good shot. So I deserved it. I think under the gun with a three‑shot lead is‑‑ maybe next time I'll handle it better but I know I'll be nervous again. That's part of the deal but hopefully I can handle it just one shot better, one shot better today I'm in a playoff and two shots better I win the tournament. Positives to be taken but overall, you don't get this many opportunities. A three‑shot lead at one of the best tournaments of the year is great opportunity that I squandered. Q. You hear at times that it's almost harder to protect a lead than go get somebody who is out front, like you said, it's a good learning experience for next time. BILL HAAS: It's easy to second guess every decision I made to make bogey on hindsight. If I pull the shots off, then they are great. But maybe the driver at 8 was unnecessary, maybe even driver at 10 was unnecessary. Made a terrible shot at 11, those three shots stick out in my head as, if I could do those 3‑over again, maybe it turns out something different. Q. Overall for the week, good performance and you're headed into the Match Play with a little momentum? BILL HAAS: Yeah, absolutely. Even just the last two holes there, to finish birdie, birdie putts at least somewhat of a good taste in my mouth. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
