THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIPMay 12, 2013Ryan PalmerPONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA Q. The tee shot on 17 was a wedge? RYAN PALMER: A 50‑degree wedge. Q. And you went back two club lengths? RYAN PALMER: No, I went back a club to get an extra yard. I was going to hit a 54, but then we thought about it, you know, let's just put it on the green. I was going to take two pars and get out of here. So we took it back a club, and fortunately I got the spin on it and it came down a couple feet. It was probably the most nerve‑racking 122‑yard shot for the first shot of the day. Q. I was going to say it's a difficult combination? RYAN PALMER: There is still a slight breeze left to right so, it's one of those shots if I didn't catch the 54 it could have easily come up short, or if you're trying to hit it hard, you can tug it a lot easier left. So I think going back a club, and hitting a little three‑quarter, 15‑degree wedge. Q. But had you no choice, right? You were told you couldn't hit that tee shot last night, right? RYAN PALMER: No, because they blew the horn and we were on 16 fairway. Q. So it's a nice one to go to bed thinking about that shot? Did you think about it? RYAN PALMER: Not really. I mean, when we got out here, I prepared for it pretty good. We had a pin on the range, 122 yards exactly, so I hit probably a good two dozen of them on the range. Q. Is that what it was, 122? RYAN PALMER: 122 to the hole. Q. Did you hit mostly 50‑degree? RYAN PALMER: I went through my normal routine. I went through my whole warm-up like I was teeing off in a normal round. In the trailer, and then went through my whole routine on the range, putting, everything and, and came back and hit a few extra 50‑degree wedges and drivers. Then had that shot on 17 and a tee ball on 18. I made sure I at least blocked it on 18. Q. You hit a 6‑iron and then hit a good second? RYAN PALMER: Yeah, it's so hard to control it coming out of there. You saw it; it was just moving. I was going to hit 7, but if I didn't catch it and it came up short. I was thinking well, if I can catch a 6 just perfectly, it will come down a little softer, but I had a good putt. So now I'll go to sleep.
