FRED FUNK: Last year it came down to the PGA. I knew I needed to play well at the PGA. I bypassed Bob Estes and I flip flopped. He went from 11 to 12, I went 12 to 11. I thought you never know what the captain is going to do, but last year it seemed like Nicklaus was going to pick 11, and his second pick was going to be a wildcard. Jay Haas was the wildcard at 16.
I don't know whether that's going to happen. I don't know whether 11 will be a lock or not. But the pressure was on all the way till the end.
This year I'm looking at it, yeah, it's definitely in the forefront of my mind, but it's kind of fun now because it's keeping me real focused, especially after I played well last week. It really helped that I actually had a good week. I went an eight week stretch in a row, two weeks prior to the British Open was my break, and I was just worn out. I was trying so hard through there. My only good tournament was the US Open. I picked a good week to have the good week.
That was a real frustrating eight weeks that I had in a row. I just wore myself out. I took the two weeks off, didn't do anything golf wise when I was home. I came out real rusty at the BC Open. But it started to come together last week.
That kind of validates my decision on not going to the British to me by the way it all worked out so far anyway.
