golf Central on YouTube is brought to you by the new Chrome tour golf ball from Callaway shot at 15 comes to mind as one of the huge highlights of the day for you can you take us through that um yeah yeah it was uh I think I had about 235 pin um was just a nice kind of hold three iron and uh yeah I felt like I had a good number and it’s nice when I have a number where I want to cut it and the pins on the right and that was one of those instances and so was able to hit a really nice shot in there pretty close to the pin and and hold a putt the win today has been a factor for everybody didn’t seem to impair you a whole lot how’ you deal with it it it was pretty windy out there um yeah I just Tred to do my best to execute you know Teddy I think did a did a really good job of getting most of the Winds right for the day and that’s that’s a pretty pretty challenging task I think around this golf course especially when the winds are up just because you have so many trees that kind of block it and when it’s Gusty it it can be really challenging and start blowing from directions where it’s not quite supposed to at times and you know that’s another one of the challenges of playing this golf course but you I feel like we did a good job today of executing and putting our putting ourselves in the right spots out there a big we next made you do anything this we like to try to serve or you approach this tournament because of that uh not really I mean if anything maybe my prep work last week would have been a little bit lighter than typically going into a week like this but that’s s that knows as far as the tournament week goes you know I’m I’m here to compete and play my best uh you know I’m not really not really focused on on next week at the moment when was the last time you came off the golf course and looked at Teddy said I really was off today um I don’t know we’re all in agreement we’re just I mean I I I try to forget those days and so I’m pretty fortunate right now I can’t really remember the only one I can really remember was Saturday at the PGA but that was another caddy so we’ll just you know we’ll blame him for that well then we know why potentially stupid Scotty cuz I didn’t I didn’t see it but what’ you do on five today you’re in the Fairway I’m in the Fairway and I had a clean golf ball which makes the second shot significantly easier I saw the rest of it but how did you get a clean golf ball I don’t know just blind luck um did you have any if I if I could figure out how to not get mud balls I would do it kind of my Victor Victor was talking about on on some holes whether he would try and hit a hit a knuckler to to get it going forward and at least maybe you can wipe the mud off or something like that yeah I mean that’s a that’s a thought for sure um I’ve I’ve tried at times to even hit it lower and hoping that it would not go as deep into the ground and I mean I was still getting mud balls then and so really I kind of just try to continue to execute the shots and take the bad bad breaks as I get them and um you know like number five is a hole where you almost need spin off the te just because the Fairway is so narrow up there and really I’m trying to control my distance more than you know trying to hit it far and so if I’m going to try and knuckle one it would be me trying to hit it further and on that specific hole I’m kind of trying to keep the ball at a certain distance and so um really I’m just trying to hit the appropriate shot to get the ball in play and you know hoping that I don’t get mud on it is golf easy for you right now or no Easy’s definitely not the right word um you know I feel like what I love about this game is how difficult it is um you know I love coming out here competing against the best players in the world on the best golf courses and this is a obviously a pretty challenging track and um you know I love kind of the I really just love competing out here and um I don’t really think about whether or not it’s easy or hard and some days I play good and some days I don’t um outside of that you know I’m just out here trying to compete how would you describe it then uncomplicated or I mean I mean sometimes it feels really good and then sometimes it doesn’t feel as good and um I don’t really know how to describe it other than that um I’m gonna try not to think really think about it too much to be honest with you um got famous wellknown sports psychologist kenry via used to say uh you know trying to be comfortable being uncomfortable would you describe it sort of like that I I think there there’s definitely something to that I think um you know being out here in the arena and competing you know with cameras and fans and people watching you and stuff like that can be a little bit unsettling for people and so um yeah I think the nerves are are kind of a sign that you care and so when you come out here and I’m nervous stand on the first te it’s because I’m prepared to to play well and um you know that’s what I want to do when I show up to the golf course and so you know I always remind myself about my preparation when I get on the first te and then um do my best to compete after that and one more Scotty from someone your age and there’s a lot of great players in your age group but what what’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear pain Stewart the first thing that comes to mind is either his putt there at Pinehurst and then you know the pain Stewart award is something I always triy to go to at East Lake and so you know his legacy and seeing his family there each year is always really special and you know he did he did a lot for the communities that we play in across the uh the country and he was you know really an inspirational guy that that I like up to as a player just because of the impact he was able to have off the course as well you don’t remember the put I take it no no I said that what do you mean remember watching it I remember watching it on YouTube and some commercials but yes no I do not remember where I was at the momenty old yeah thanks y punctuated a good round there Victor uh on 18 just kind of take me through both how the course was playing and then how you were able to kind of play well on it yeah greens were firmer today so that already makes the greens play a little bit smaller and then obviously um uh some nice gusts there and some steady winds makes it even more difficult so um did a good job of just hitting a bunch of Fairways but even then there’s a lot of thinking and and guessing going into the greens it’s just uh it’s just hard to get it close to the close to the hole um but I managed to do that today somehow did it feel more difficult than yesterday the scores would indicate that but just from your Vantage Point yes 100% um I don’t know and so far with the different pins I thought there were some tricky pins yesterday but there were some good ones today as well um I just happen to play better today uh hit it a lot nicer missed a few short ones but um uh still yeah just play great was there anything did you go work on anything last night that you felt like maybe worked better with your swing today yeah I just got on a FaceTime with Joe and we just talked through some feels and simple cues that um you know I saw some immediate kind of improvement so it was nice to take those feels out to the course today youve talked kind of about this but the fact that now it seems like that you can take those fields from like Thursday night into Friday a lot easier maybe than you did earlier in the year is that kind of is that kind of correct yeah I mean it’s it’s key just finding a playable feel uh something that that’s going to be different and actually make you hit it better but it’s still got to be simple enough for you to do um under the gun because it’s uh you don’t have a lot of time and um to to Tinker out there it’s just uh when the course is so hard you got to know where the ball’s going Victor if you could draw a visual with your finger which would be great for TV by the way of of your confidence level last year when you won to where you are now what would it look like um you don’t have to use your finger it’s a good question uh no that’s fair uh I’d say because I came off playing really nicely at the PGA last year um and I was doing a lot of really good things I was probably here and then after the FedEx copy was here now I’m at least getting closer to where I was at this ter last year so not quite there yet I feel like but um you know the can’t can argue against the results I’m playing some nice golf so just gota just got to keep it going how much would you have to bend over to show a low Point yeah let’s not go into that okay and lastly when you uh as it relates to the how you feel about your game and confidence and everything else how much do you get from result how much do you get from from F when you’re when you’re just hitting the ball yeah I’m probably more skewed to the um subjective feel of things I can I can disregard the results a little bit if I’m doing the things that I can control really really well because some things especially at at this this place is so hard I mean you can hit good shots and uh end up in some bad spots and you can hit you know bad shots that end up in some decent spots it’s just like during three four rounds of golf that’s not a big enough sample size to really show that okay yeah you’re playing great um but uh if for me personally if I can start the ball left and it cuts and I can hit as hard as I want and not worry about the the ball going left that to me in itself that that means that I’m playing some good golf and I can I can go out there and shoot a good score whether I shoot 65 60 or 74 you know that’s you don’t really know that’s uh other factors yep [Music]
