THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIPMay 12, 2013Jimmy WalkerPONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA JIMMY WALKER: I hit some good shots, like 4 I hit one in there just right of the hole, had about an eight‑footer, made that. Then I made a really good putt on the next hole, about a 25‑footer. Made another close one in on 6, made that, about eight feet. 8 I hit one in there about 10 feet and just missed it. 9, I made a good par. 11, made a good little like 10‑footer there, made a‑‑ on 12 we went for the green, knocked it right up by the green, chipped it on, had a tough chip, made like a 10‑ or 12‑footer there. Was in the front bunker in two on 16, got that up‑and‑down, made about a five‑footer, and I was making the putts you need to make to keep the round going. Q. Naturally on Sunday when it's too late, it seems easy, right? JIMMY WALKER: Well, there's nothing too late. It's still hard and you still want to go play well. I put the pressure on myself to go play well. Q. It's not like it wasn't windy, either. JIMMY WALKER: No, I thought it played tough, and I thought I played really well. I did, I played really well. 17 was a bummer; I'm standing there and the wind was blowing right in my face, and as soon as I made contact it switched, and it carried‑‑ I had 9 and I went back to wedge because I wanted to hit wedge, I wanted the wedge shot. I was pretty sure it was a 9 but I wanted to hit the wedge, and I hit the wedge and the wind switched and two‑hopped it in the drink. I hit it right on my line, hit it right on the bank, and it would have caromed down, and I was going for it. I was going for‑‑ I wanted to birdie it, wanted to hit a good shot and post a pretty low number. I wouldn't do anything different. I hit a good shot. Q. Good way to finish the week, though, with a round like that. JIMMY WALKER: Yeah. Couldn't really get anything going this week. Felt like I was hitting it fine, a lot of bogeys, didn't play the par‑5s as well as I should have. But it was always right there and today showed it was right there. Q. A bit of frustration you finally conquer 8, had trouble with that the first three rounds, and then 17 bites you? JIMMY WALKER: It's just 8 is‑‑ I don't know what that is. I hit it in the same bunker every day and today I finally hit a good shot, just lipped it out. 17 I hit a good shot. I can't do anything about it. Q. You were in the bunker all three days on 8? JIMMY WALKER: The first three days I was. Q. The grind is over. Are you relaxed, relieved, tired, happy? You look tired. JIMMY WALKER: I'm disappointed. I wish we would have figured that out. I can't do anything about it. It's just a bummer circumstance. I hit a good shot. I hit good shots all day. I think I only missed one shot today honestly. It was on the par‑3, 13, I hit a pretty bad iron shot there, but for the most part‑‑ Q. You hit a great chip, though. JIMMY WALKER: Yeah, I got it up‑and‑down. It was a bump‑and‑run and then running it down, and I did what I needed to do. It was good. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
