All right Stephen solid round put yourself right now as the solo leader heading into weekend but Friday um just kind of take us through what’s worked well for you the last two days yeah I’ve been driving a fair a fair bit of Fairways um when I do miss it I feel
Like I’ve I’ve I’ve done a good job with missing on right spots um you know being able to kind of Chase something up and and and being able to maybe have an easier up and down that you would out of the rough or something so um I’ve been
Putting well my speed’s been been been great um obviously made a couple nice putts longer putts that kind of kept the round going and um made a great up and down today on um on my 11th hole number two so just things like that you know
Kind of keep you in the round keep you in the tournament um like I said i’ I’ve been driving really nicely so that that’s been working for me for sure pretty comfortably kept your card last year really consistent I’m sure you were happy with that but now as you kind of
Look to try to give yourself more of these opportunities what is that jump like to make it from you know consistent but always trying to find yourself at the top it’s hard um CU those guys are you know everybody’s good out here you know there’s a reason um some of those
Guys have been out here for for a long time so um you just try to find every weakness in your game somehow if it’s mental if it’s you know putting short game whatever it is you try to find any weakness that you have that you try to
Work on and get better um um and you also got to continue to work on your strength otherwise you’re going to lose those so um it’s hard it’s it’s definitely more hours um even off the course a lot more work than than than I
Used to do and I kind of get the rewards for it um sometimes so it’s it’s nice uh to see some of the you know hard work to pay off and um and to be able to kind of stand here and and feel really comfortable for this weekend was there
Specific targets that you went into the offseason things you wanted to address specific things you had on mind yeah I you know I think mentally um I always felt like you know when I was playing good I didn’t really get enough out of my rounds um you know I felt like I
Wasn’t really I was putting good driving good everything and it it just I never really got the high finishes that I wanted out of it um so that kind of looking at that was was a big one um obviously my putting last year the stats were terrible for for my that was used
To be my my strength so I put a lot of effort in that um not necessarily stroke it’s a lot of speed stuff for me um feeling comfortable with the speed and being able to kind of uh feel good over a 15 footer knowing I’m hitting the
Right speed so those are two probably the the main ones that stick out but um wedges for me are big too um with the kind of added distance that I’ve put in my game there’s going to be a lot more wedges a lot more shots between 130 and
150 that I need to capitalize on so those are kind of some of the things that that I um addressed when did that added distance come for you uh that was probably a couple years ago um I I I was I just told Steve I was one of the
Shortest and most crooked guys out here um and I just kind of went you know like if I’m going to hit it in the rough I might as well hit it far in the rough so I ended up gaining a bunch of speed and uh hitting it straighter for some reason
That was a great you know kind of second uh you know tidbit to that so um ended up hitting more was and being straighter and being longer uh was really helped and kind of catapulted my game Into the next level um and that’s kind of where the consisten consistencies come from to
Be able to kind of play every weekend um but also kind of compete on a place like this and then you gave yourself a chance at the end of the year to qualify for all the Signature Events didn’t quite make it so now as you head into this
Next first kind of wave and then even looking more down the line how much is that something you’re paying attention to where you are in those kind of smaller standings the anman five and the 10 and just kind of a goal for you this year you kind of mentioned out the five
And the 10 it’s very confusing so I’m just trying to play good golf trying to win tournaments trying to get myself you know there on the weekends uh it’s been a while you know uh I’ve won a few times on the corn faery but to be able to kind
Of be out here on the weekend with the cameras on and and play in front of the guys you know last couple groups is awesome so um to be able to do that that’s really the main goal you know and the rest it’s kind of cliche I’m sorry
But the rest kind of takes care of itself and um I yeah I was a little bummed last year not getting in the in top 50 but you know to be able to see my progress and and and kind of on and off
The the PJ tour to 86 to 56 to you know this year it’s been awesome to see for me and and and being able to measure that towards where you know where I’ve come from is is big for me Stephen can you uh take us through the uh Eagle on
Nine yeah I had a good drive it was a little in the win today so we had 260 270 pin um and I I kind of tugged it a little bit I wanted to kind of go in middle of green and I went right at it
Um ended up Landing just short of the pin and scooting kind of back Fringe and um had a little downhill right to left or that 35 ft and end up curling in so it was awesome to see that finishing like that um yeah it was exciting what
Does that do for your momentum having a big moment to finish like that going into the week um the last two rounds of a PJ Tour event I mean not really anything cuz you know it’s a new round tomorrow you know we’re playing a different Golf Course um but you know
It’s nice it’s always nice to to make Eagles and birdies and um nobody can take those away from you you’re right so um I’m I’m just I’m pumped to play the South course two more days I love this place this is probably one of my favorite tournaments every year and um
Yeah to be able to kind of stay on top and uh try to make birdies is it gratifying to have a moment like that with the fans after you’ve you know had ups and downs in your careers you’ve had to grind on the corn fairy tour you’ve
Won on that tour but just to have that moment what uh does that is that gratifying at all yeah absolutely I mean you know like I said it kind of the fruits of your labor kind of show up sometimes and they show up the right
Right time as well so um to be able to you know be in this position is awesome it’s going to be nerve-wracking but it’s going to be awesome so I I can’t wait for this weekend
