Fred Albers: Pat, you didn't leave much meat on the bone out there today, although you say it could've been lower?

PP: Yeah, I hit in the water on six and made bogey there. I had a stretch of 11, 12... I missed from about six feet. I missed a ten-footer on 11. I rolled it right over the edge for eagle on 13... 15, I had fifteen feet.

It was a good day. I made my fair share. I made a couple long ones... but you always say, "what if?"

Fred Albers: I'm gonna say -8 qualifies as a very good day. Was there any indication this round was coming?

PP: Not any chance whatsoever...

Fred Albers: That's golf. You never know when it's gonna bite you or when it's gonna pat you on the back.

PP: I've been hitting the ball great the last two weeks. I just haven't been able to get the ball in the hole. I was leading in greens last week and finished 12th... this week I hit a lot of greens and I'm just not getting the ball in the hole. I said today, I'm just gonna roll it.

Once you see a couple go in, you start to actually believe you can make one (finally) so that's what kind of happened to me. It kind of snowballed today and I know I was hitting it well, so...

There's some tough pins out there but you can make a 25 or 30 footer out here like nothing because the greens are so good...

Fred Albers: I thought all week the course lends itself to a quick start 1, 2, 3, 4 and that's exactly how you started today - with four birdies

PP: It was nice to get off to that kind of start. Five's a good hole, six is kinda tough, seven's tough... It's a good course. It'll reward your good shots and if you can putt you can shoot nothing out there.

Fred Albers: Probably not enough to get you into Augusta next week, but probably gives you some good feelings with an off week.

PP: Yeah, I'm gonna take two weeks off. I needed to finish about third last week to get into Augusta. as I'm 60 in the world now. Yeah, I'm disappointed but that's my favorite one to watch so we'll have some fun.

Fred Albers: You're having a good year and can still have a great year. Have a good week.

PP: Thanks.
