SHELL HOUSTON OPEN


March 31, 2013


Charles Howell III


HUMBLE, TEXAS

Q.  Another good bogey-free round, solid play.
CHARLES HOWELL III:  Well, it was a nice finish.  Probably not quite good enough for what I need to go to Augusta, but you know, I played well.  I gave myself a chance.

Q.  Great effort.
CHARLES HOWELL III:  It was a good effort, but unfortunately good efforts don't get that invitation to Augusta, so, I played well.  I gave myself a chance out there, and I thought I needed probably 8-under today and that looks like that may be correct.

Q.  Will you allow yourself to look back here or there, whether this week or previous weeks and say if I had done just something a little bit different?
CHARLES HOWELL III:  No, because I played well this year.  I'm not going to go down the road of disappointment.  I played good.  I would love to be in the golf tournament, so would 300 million other golfers.  I can't -- you know, I played well this year and, you know, I'm going to watch the tournament on TV.  It's just horrible to watch on TV, to be honest.

Q.  Any thoughts about -- I know you're not in the field next week.  What was the thought process behind that?
CHARLES HOWELL III:  Because I thought my best chance of getting in was Top 50 world rank.  I played a ton of golf.  I'm a little tired, to be honest.  I've played a boat-load of tournaments trying to get into Augusta, and I thought my best chance was Top 50 world rankings for this week and, you know, prepared for it as best I could.  So, gave it a shot.

Q.  You had the math all figured out in your head before you went out, obviously?
CHARLES HOWELL III:  Yeah.  I don't know that an MIT grad can figure out the world ranking system, but the best I could tell, it was 4th place or better.  So, I figured that, yeah.  I figured it would be 13-under, but we'll see.

Q.  Was there any good missed opportunities today for more birdies, or did you make everything that was realistic?
CHARLES HOWELL III:  There was plenty out there.  Golfers always look back at that stuff.  It's over now.  I had 6-under.  Thank you.
