Can you take us through the shots on 16 and 17 yeah um 16 was a seven iron um which it looked like it was going to go in same club that I made the hole in one with a couple weeks ago um you know those are bonuses I was
Looking about 15 feet right of the hole and it just drew in there and and rolled about six seven feet and um Joel did a great job of talking me into hitting six iron on uh 17 because it I knew the wind was kind of back into us um and then
Just hit a perfect putt from about you know 16 17 ft so it Everything feels really good you know we just got to keep doing we’re doing I knew that this morning with no wind especially early on in the week that’s the softest we’re going to see it even with rain on rain
On Sunday the place is still going to be brown um so uh it’s good to get a sub 70 score here at any time I know you’re feeling healthy do you play the game any differently because of the Swing changes and things like that yeah a lot simpler
Uh I used to kind of play a lot with my hand hands and try to you know hit kind of shape shots more a little bit and now I’m just trying to kind of hit basically three shots where it’s just you know a little cut to take off distance a little
Draw to maybe add a little bit of distance and then just try to hit simple straight shots from there um so I used to do I used to move the ball a lot more prior to surgery but now it’s it’s just like I said it’s just a lot more simple
Um which is great I mean you just out here especially on a place like this hit as many greens as you can and a few times you maybe pull or p one and they end up being tight say thank you very much um you talked about too being able
To just maybe practice less play less your approach to the game does that change because you’re not able to beat balls like you used to it’s it honestly is weird because uh having two weeks off I didn’t touch a club for the first week I was off which I never take more than
Probably two or three days off you know prior to the surgeries um so if anything coming back you know it’s almost like trying to settle in those first like five six holes after uh a couple weeks off so um you know I might add uh one somewhere in that stretch between
Augusta and players uh depending on how I’m feeling just because I want to kind of keep the momentum going and then I’m going to play a ton of golf between uh I think I’m I’m actually looking at playing all the way through from uh Masters to the PGA um having the Nelson
It in that middle stretch is kind of like having a half week off since I’ll be right at home you and others have talked about how the course changes and by the time you get to Sunday it can be really a challenge so a day like today do you
Feel like you have to go out and make hay while you can yeah I mean being one over through 11 holes or whatever I knew it if I wanted to be in contention I knew I needed to get it to at least to Red numbers um this is the calmest I’ve
Seen it this is my fourth time playing here I’ve never seen it this calm um I know we got some weather coming in on Sunday but we’re also having four different winds on top of that so it’s just you know a day like today especially going early you know try to
Make your hay and then uh hold on how Justin lower shot five under how good is that on this course yeah it’s fantastic I mean uh you know you try to get the par fives just get around the par 3es and even par um you know and from there
You just try to make his a bunch of pars you know if you have a few wedges you know take advantage of it from there but you know there’s the thing about this place especially is you know when you don’t have wind it makes the greens a lot easier especially when they get
Glassy um you know they almost get to a point where guys you know I’ve heard guys asking rules officials in the past about you know can they put you know some sort of stick them on the bottom of their Putters just because their Putters are sliding around um which no they
Can’t do that but um but it’s it’s um you know once they get that glassy you know when you’ve got those downhillers you’re basically just trying to commit to a good Putt and just hope it holds its line but yeah 500 out here any day I don’t care what conditions it is you’ll
Take it getting her heartbeat I know the swing changes were made out of necessity but do you think they’ll actually end up being beneficial as well yeah like I think the word that we’re using with everything is simplify um you know I used to be really high hands very
Vertical I would kind of uh thrust my right knee at the ball would have a big side Bend and right now I I flare both my feet out and try to get as horizontal as I can get a lot as much rotation um so it’s kind of fun now having you know
Looking at videos and my driver’s actually been the longest in terms of where it is at the top um that it’s been really ever so um but like I said it’s just it’s just simplifying everything that we can and you know I’m not I’m not throwing the ball back like I used to
And hitting these like low drivers I’m just kind of hitting three shots and um just kind of if we’ve got a bunch of wind you know I grew up in Texas I’ll figure it out um are you hitting at same distances or so I’m playing a shorter
Driver uh I went to I played a 44 and A2 inch driver pretty much much my whole life I played a 46 and 22 uh when I had a great year and then went back to the 44 and a half um I would love to go back
To that 46 just to add another 12 15 yards but you know I never really was that great with hitting Fairways and um so far so good with hitting Fairways so um you know in reality even though I’m losing distance I’m hitting more Fairways so I’m I’m kind of netting
Everything out cool good thank you sweet yeah thanks
