I had my chances. That one (at 14) went right over the hole and stayed there on the lip.

I went with one less club (an 8-iron). Luckily, it was enough to carry. Still, I almost went over the green. Lucky I made par.

I hit the ball decent enough. I've just got to get the putts in the hole.

I hit two good shots there.

That was nice for Matt (Hall) and Turtle Bay to think of me and let me play in my first year as a senior.

I felt OK but I wasn't that strong. I wasn't hitting the ball too well at that time. I'm hitting the ball better now, so I think that helps.

I expected nothing and this is my best finish at Pearl in 10 or 15 years. I didn't hit the ball too good, but I made some putts. Maybe if you hit the ball crooked, you putt better.

Really? I don't remember. Seventeen under? That's pretty good.
