seb Straa is with us now at the 107th PGA Championship seb welcome to your fifth PGA Championship a big win for you last week what’ you do up well up there in Philly and how you feeling coming into this one uh yeah it was a it was a great week um the putter was really hot which was key uh those greens were really tough to putt and uh felt like I was able to make a lot of mid-r mid-range putts which was uh huge ball striking was solid um not anything exceptional there but uh yeah definitely was able to take advantage of a hot putter how’s the week been so far and what are your impressions of the course yeah it’s been good i got down here uh Monday evening um course is long as ever uh longer than it was and with the rain it’s playing playing even longer than that so uh uh yeah it’s uh it’s in really good shape though considering all the rain that we’ve gotten here so uh yeah looking forward to a good week that’s great jim just wondering after your win where did the emotion last week center on man this would be great not to have to be a captain’s pick and I can nail down a automatic spot for the Ryder Cup um yeah uh definitely was a little bit behind in the in the points so the goal uh all year has been to to make that team um and yeah it’s uh it’s nice to kind of get that that big uh chunk of points but uh yeah hopefully I can uh keep keep playing well and uh be in one of the top six there by the by the end of the year yeah go ahead see you had a caddy change last week and I’m just curious what the update on that is coming up uh Dwey uh had an MRI uh yesterday uh my regular Caddyy he’s uh not going to go this week but uh hopefully we’ll be we’ll be ready um coming up here in the next few weeks uh they told him to just rest a little bit he’s feeling a lot better so uh yeah things are looking up there um and my brother’s going to be on the bag this week yeah how did you decide for your brother to be so it was already planned u Dewy’s daughter is graduating college on Friday I believe so my brother was already going to caddy Friday Saturday uh so it really isn’t a huge change of plans we just uh told him that he’s going to be going the the whole week instead yeah and then when you think about the final stretch here what makes it major uh it’s really hard yeah uh you got to hit excellent excellent shots um you know 16 uh is just a brutally long golf hole uh I feel like that bunker is not really in play for me because I can just aim at it and stay short of it and then hit that four iron or seven wood in um but really just depends on how it plays you know uh but uh yeah then 17 is is a is a really tough part three you got to hit your number from from a long with a long iron uh within five yards to to really have hit a good shot uh which is obviously really hard to do and then 18 I think is the best of the three holes uh you got to hit a really good drive to get in the fairway uh if you’re not in the fairway you’re you’re uh pretty much done for on that one so yeah it’s going to take uh take a lot of uh controlling the nerves and uh just executing good shots under a lot of pressure we’ll go up to Alex on 12 yeah Steph uh wanted to comment regarding uh following up on wins a lot of people talk about how difficult it is to play and play successfully the week after winning after your last three PJ tour victories you finished in the top 10 uh besides a whole lot of Diet Coke how do you keep the energy and the momentum up after winning on Sunday uh yeah it’s it’s definitely tough um I’ve had a lot of off weeks after my wins recently uh which definitely helps to kind of decompress uh take it all in uh get your energy back but uh but yeah when it’s a quick turnaround like this it’s it’s hard but um yeah the big thing is getting energy back you know you get kind of drained there’s a lot of you know a lot of pressure you’re wrestling a lot of things and then obviously after you win there’s a lot of adrenaline still going so uh last night had a really good night of sleep so hopefully uh hopefully we’re we’re getting back on that on that track juan so Seb how are you so so top 10 in the world rankings right now so and we we’ve been talking recently i remember calling Marikawa Xander used to be in the same position he’s been up there but also being kind of under the radar no don’t get that much attention and and I wanted to ask you what are the advantages of that and do you enjoy that position better than having attention all the time no uh I definitely yeah I definitely do um I’m not uh very I’m not very outgoing and you know I’m not a very like uh not a big people person but uh a little bit shy but um so I definitely enjoy being under the radar a little more and that’s probably a big reason why uh I am that way is because uh I I just don’t bring a whole lot on myself um but uh yeah it’s it’s you know it makes it maybe a little bit easier to prepare uh for for tournaments uh because you don’t you know have all the eyeballs on you but you know internally I think every player whether they have a lot of attention on them or not their standard is a lot higher than what other people have for them so um they’re just trying to meet whatever they their standard they set for themselves and um yeah that’s that’s kind of the same with with everybody i mean a couple more things different for Austria i mean for us you’re making history for Austria more people are watching all now in Austria i mean what kind of effect is it having and what are you getting from from your country people there yeah it’s incredible uh it’s the response from there is is really amazing um you know Austria has grown as a golf country since since I’ve been around uh since I was a little kid you know it’s it’s grown a lot um and people love it over there uh it’s definitely not one of the major sports in Austria uh pretty limited with the seasons but uh they’re definitely golf crazy and it’s awesome to see the support uh that I get from from Austria that you know every week there’s somebody from Austria in the crowd that’s rooting me on or get messages from friends um and uh yeah it’s uh it’s really cool to see kind of the the support from Austria and and one last thing we had Luke Nal this morning here I mean it looked like you have a guaranteed spot in the in the Rider Cup no so kind of your memories of the last one and what you expect here this year uh yeah memories i mean it’s incredible uh I got to play with Shane on Sunday last last week and uh he’s become a really good friend of mine and um yeah what a great great week great group of guys um just uh still kind of the group track still going from from the last one um hoping to be in the group chat for the next one so uh yeah uh the next one’s going to be very different i think the environment in Rome was incredible obviously we were the home team so uh that’s expected but it’s going to be quite the opposite uh in New York i think the fans are going to be coming out in full support uh for for the US and uh I think it’s going to be fun but in a very different way um I think they’re going to make it very challenging and uh it’s going to be tough so yeah hopefully uh hopefully I can get my game uh in shape and keep it keep it going through through that time jim so last week when you were winning there was a lot of talk on TV of the great Austrian downhillers Fran Fran Clama and Maya yeah who is who who’s the if one of those Don Hillers is your hero um who is it he mayo was for me uh just growing up in that era you know when I was a kid I was always watching him so he was my he was my uh kind of my hero i was not a very talented skier i skied in the I grew up in Vienna so not a whole lot of skiing there but um but yeah he was the one I always grew up watching so he was uh yeah he he would be my one but my mom would say Franceama because uh he was a golfer and a skier and uh very talented in both and um yeah it is a nice history there and if I could you when you won last week you just mentioned Shane Lowry was is there a touch of awkwardness knowing how heartbroken he was um I don’t know about awkwardness you know uh we we talked in in scoring and he was very happy for me he was obviously very upset uh that he didn’t pull it out uh but you know Shane’s such a good guy we all day you know we were very fiery we were very competitive but um I don’t think that ever uh came in between you know us uh being friends or that would never really jeopardize that so no definitely no awkwardness but yeah I definitely felt for him because he’s played some incredible golf uh over the last few years and um you know everybody wants to wants to be the one holding the trophy at the end uh but uh yeah he’s just going to keep playing the way he’s he’s been playing and I’m I’m sure he’ll be holding one here very shortly we’ll wrap things up here with one so we started Gooden Morgan we’re going to German perfect yeah so I mean the feeling of coming to a major probably for the first time as a PGA tour winner and in the top 10 of the world rankings what does it mean for you yeah this is [Music] super recovery [Music] we were talking about the the reception the feedback you’re getting from Austria how you see the game growing kind of following you i mean can you can you talk a little bit about that yeah [Music] pj [Music] yeah being where you are right now we’re saying top 10 in our rankings does your attitude and your plans and your vision for the year change and when you come to a tournament like this do you feel like you have to aspire to more no [Music] um [Music] [Music] for Perfect thank you perfect yeah thanks for your time Seth we appreciate it appreciate it
