NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL CHAMPIONSHIPSeptember 15, 2013Edward LoarCOLUMBUS, OHIO Q. Well played. ED LOAR: Thank you very much, guys. Q. Did you think you could scare him or were you just too far back? ED LOAR: Well, that's a long way to start, but with the way I got it going, you know, they were going to struggle, but certainly going to improve my paycheck quite a bit, which is nice. Q. I mean he briefly ‑‑ he had that one bogey early. ED LOAR: Yeah. Q. And he came back. And you might have only been maybe three back at that point. ED LOAR: Yeah. That's about right. You know, I mean this is an awesome golf course. As I showed, you can shoot a good score, but as I showed yesterday, you can also ‑‑ it's not hard to shoot three or four over out here either. Q. Actually you were at two at one point. You got to 7 and he fell to 9. ED LOAR: Okay. Q. So what was the difference between yesterday and today? ED LOAR: It's golf. Other than that, you know, I was able to get a few birdies early and kind of got a nice rhythm, and certainly that front nine was a lot of fun. I hit it ‑‑ let's see, I made about a 20‑footer on the first hole and then the par‑5 I got up‑and‑down from the bunker and then the next par‑5 I hit it to about eight feet. And then the next hole ‑‑ you know, they moved the tee up for us. I drove it right up by the green and got it up‑and‑down. And then I stuffed it in there about three feet on 8. And actually I missed a short one for birdie on 9. But anyway. Q. Can't have them all. ED LOAR: No, you can't. It's a crazy game, and it has a way of evening itself out. Q. What's the feeling when you've got ‑‑ when you're out here and you've got your card already, but I mean you are playing for positioning. ED LOAR: Oh, that's huge. Q. You can free wheel it a little more? ED LOAR: Well, no. I mean ‑‑ I mean I think anybody that understands really what's going on understands that the priority ranking is huge. You know, certainly while I do have a card, I mean you know, two years ago when I had my card I started out 42nd, and I mean I know that wasn't any good. It's very important. Q. Today was huge. ED LOAR: Absolutely. Yeah, I got another chance in Sawgrass to move up, but certainly this oughta move me up a little bit. Q. Certainly into the top 20. You were 10 at one point, but it's obviously ‑‑ ED LOAR: Yeah. I mean obviously the further you move down. But yeah, I'm certainly moving in the right direction after the first week where I finished, what, 68th or 9th and I was at 46. So I'm moving the right direction. Q. What year was that that you said you were 42? ED LOAR: It was 2012. Q. 2012. And you said you didn't get in until when? ED LOAR: I mean I played two out of the first seven, but I didn't make the cut. Shoot, I think I played 11 events out of here and maybe like 16 on the big TOUR. Q. Conditions out here, I mean scorable, obviously? ED LOAR: Yeah. They were awesome. I mean this is ‑‑ I mean I'd go back to play a couple tournaments here in college, and ever since then, this is just a hell of a golf course. You know, the pins are very challenging. You know, there's always a runoff and it never seems like your ball is falling to the hole. It's always falling away from it. But I was able to get some good looks at it and certainly hit my fair share of good shots. There's just a lot of good golfers, too. Somebody is always going to play good. Q. Do you have any experience playing with Noh, or not? ED LOAR: Actually I played with him at Q‑School a couple of years ago, and I was very impressed. You know, at that time he still looked a little raw, and I mean I make a lot of mistakes and if I can see a guy making mistakes, I know he makes a lot of mistakes. But I mean beautiful golf swing. He can hit it, for not a very big guy, he can just smash it. He's a great player. Obviously ‑‑ what is he, 21, 2? Q. 23. ED LOAR: 23? Got a lot of golf ahead of him. Q. Somebody mentioned yesterday he was 118 in greens in regulation this year on tour but he's one this week. ED LOAR: Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out, does it, why he's probably at the top of the lowered board. Q. Good. Thanks, Ed. ED LOAR: You got it, guys.
