all right Ben so great playing today in through three rounds to give yourself a chance for Sunday what’s been um clicking for you so far yeah the putter has been pretty hot uh made some long putts that are kind of almost unexpected and when those drop you know you kind of have things going your way so uh trying to keep the putter hot keep it in play um the more Fairways you can have out here the more you can attack some of the pens especially on the back nine a lot of them are kind of tucked in spots where you need to be in the Fairway and um for me I I felt like I did a good job of giving myself good chances on lot of those holes when I was out of position you know I tried to give myself par putts and uh missed a couple on the back nine but I feel like this back this backs side’s pretty tough you can have some easy holes but you know you get faced right when you have a couple easy holes and feels like it’s going your way it can kind of smack you real quick so um you just got to stay focused and um just try to hit good shots and I feel like I’ve had a lot of fun so far I had a good pairing today with Zach Blair um we goofed off a lot and had had a ton of fun so just trying to have fun again tomorrow and um hopefully uh see where the cars Stack Up When did you feel like you had would have a chance you were like in the mix like in contention here well I didn’t realized Ryan Fox had come back I saw he was at 13 so I was like well he’s kind of playing really well and he still had a ton of holes left so I was like I just got to keep making birdies to to try to keep my name up there and have a chance and so um obviously he’s po come back a little bit um looking at the leaderboard now so uh yeah all I can do is just try to make birdies and focus on myself um you know missed a short Eagle pot on 17 but um it’s all it’s all good I’ll have plenty of chances tomorrow to make up for some of those uh some of those Miss shots and you mentioned you’ve have a you’re having a eye surgery you’re proceed procedure on Tuesday yeah I’ve got to got to get laser work I’ve got four retina holes in my left eye and one in my right eye which basically the retina hole is just my retina’s kind of I have lce degeneration which is just like a thinning retina and so I’ve got holes connecting my retina to my eye and so if I don’t repair them I’m at risk of uh reant Detachment so I’ve got to go get those filled to try to keep that issue uh so I don’t have to think about that too much when did you realized that was something you needed to address um well I I had I found out I had lattice generation last year and when you have that it’s just really CU my I’m nearsighted so my ey my vision is not very good I wear contacts and my vision is 2020 with contacts in but my eyes basically instead of it being a perfect circle it’s more of an oval and so it’s stretched out so the retina that attaches is kind of being stretched as well when the eye gets smaller um and so found out I had that and because I have Las de generation I’m at risk of getting retinal holes and at DIS at risk of retinal detachment so I’ve got to just stay on top of it and get get fixes from time to time so I might be blind on like Wednesday I don’t I’ve never done it before so um have like a 24hour or 48 hour recovery or something like that and then be back at it hopefully at the US Open are you doing a US Open qualifi yeah on Monday um up here in Canada yep so not too far easy Drive are the sunglasses prescription no sunglasses are solely just to make it darker um and honestly it helps with the floaters because the floaters are dark and so when it’s really bright they’re way more defined especially in the golf course where there’s not much shade so when I have the sunglasses on I don’t see them quite as much and that’s really the only benefit to them I think sunglasses might help with Eye Health overall um I haven’t really looked too much into it but I just started wearing them honestly on my fourth or fifth hole the first round it’s kind of going back and forth wearing them in between shots and I was like let’s just try to hit a shot with them on and just kind of rolled with it they were literally sunglasses that I just found in my house that I bought maybe a year ago they no significance to golf or anything so any sunglass sponsors out there I’m available when did you when did you realize your parents were here uh right right before I teed off I was rolling some pots and of course my dad showed up I could hear his voice from a mile away southern accent so um yeah they he surprises me from time to time and just pops in um so but he doesn’t watch me play golf my mom might watch a couple holes my dad’s probably sitting at a bar somewhere having a good time but which there’s bars at home but he I guess he has more fun when he’s close to where I am I just want to ask you about the ball switch a couple weeks back how are you liking it and what have you found from it yeah it’s been awesome uh I’ve been loving the ball um I gained some distance with it which is um obviously very important in this day and age with golf I feel like there’s a lot of bombers out there and the bombers are winning more often so I gained some distance which I loved and um saw a ton of consistency so uh the ball’s been awesome and I’ve played really well with it so far when when I’ve used it this year and I can’t wait to continue to use it what’s it mean just having a chance tomorrow and knowing that you’re going to you know be in the mix to chase your first oh yeah it’s it’s what we dream of as kids you know trying to come down the stretch in a tourent and get it done uh I’ve been close a couple times in my career so far um I like to say short career it’s only been a couple years and I’ve talked to some about veterans that have tried to motivate me to you know you know stay positive and the win’s going to come so uh it just feels good to be in the mix and uh it’s just going to be a fun day tomorrow I love the golf course uh Hamilton it’s a great venue and a ton of fun fans out there that are all hyping us up even the non-canadians so um yeah it just game feels good which of those long putts that you made was the most unexpected and what did it do for your confidence in 15 was the most unexpected um you know I hit a poor wedge shot I feel like the greens are actually starting to bake out in spots and we’re seeing it run out more than we did the first couple days tomorrow with the rain who knows if it’ll still bounce but um I was a little protective i’ feel like I’d hit my lob wedge a little too far on a couple holes and I tried to not hit it as long because I didn’t want to go long with that pen left myself 50 foot 50 feet and ultimately went in which is um a shock but kind of you know hyped me back up on 16 and 17 to to keep pushing and keep the pedal down but um yeah it’s always nice when you can see those long ones go in that just boosts your confidence and makes you feel really good than yeah appreciate guys
