Ben Kohles spoke to the media after finishing just one shot back from winner Taylor Pendrith at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
yeah it was sitting up a little bit but um you know honestly hadn’t seen kind of any rough like that all week um but yeah I mean just didn’t hit a great shot I mean just needed a little bit more umph on it I kind of maybe deset a little bit but you know you live and you learn um you know did so many good things this week and uh you know I’m just going to keep reminding myself of that and try to get myself back into this position I did yeah I mean I felt awesome out there even you know on 18 of course you know feeling the nerves you know feeling nerves on the back nine I mean um you know that’s why we play I mean you know keep reminding myself this is you know what I want to do and what I want to and why I want to be here and um yeah I’m really proud of myself um you know all day uh yeah like I said I definitely learned a ton from Puerto Rico cuz you know I felt night and day different from that Sunday oh extremely yeah oh I’m uh yeah I mean of course it it stings right like you know you feel like you had a you had it kind of right there and um let it slip away but like I said uh um you know I’m just taking all the positives it was an unbelievable week um you know I get to go back to my home state and I think I got into Quail for next week which is you know pretty awesome so um you know you told told me I get got into that beginning week I’d definitely take it so um yeah just going to take the positives and keep moving forward I mean my emotions were pretty much the same all day I mean you know I knew it was going to take you know a good round the wind was kind of Switched a little bit from what we played all week but there was not much out there and with the rain overnight you figured it was is going to you know you’re going to have to shoot low so that was the kind of mindset I had wasn’t getting ahead of myself um and yeah obviously it was nice to get on a little run there in the front nine and then um you know obviously feeling some nerves there at the end and and made two great birdies before obviously 18 but um you know like I said just learned a lot this week and um you know excited to keep doing that yeah I try yeah I mean I definitely I definitely get quick and definitely walk fast so um it’s definitely important for me to try to slow down and um yeah I mean you know honestly after that first chip I mean I was in a pretty screwed spot that second chip and honestly felt like I hit a really good shot there and uh yeah honestly feel like I hit a pretty good putt I um you know I lacked probably a little bit of speed and I probably needed to start it right center instead of playing it straight um like I said I I feel like I hit a good putt so I’m not going to hold my head on that and um yeah I’m just going to take all the positives and and see what we can do next week
