Final Round Interview with Andrew Novak

Q. Andrew, obviously not how things not how you wanted things to work out today. Describe your emotions right now.

ANDREW NOVAK: Right now? I don't know. It was a weird day. Obviously playing very, very difficult just like yesterday. I thought I did some things well and then struggled just on some basic stuff all day long. I've been fighting my swing a lot like recently and had a few issues with it again today.

I could never figure out the greens. I felt like the greens were like way slower today for some reason. I could not get a ball to the hole and that just I mean, I can't even count how many putts I left short, and I don't know why they were slow today. I felt like I could not get the ball to the hole.

Q. I mean, it's been an exhausting week, especially playing in the final group on a Sunday. At what point does both physical and mental fatigue start to become a factor today?

ANDREW NOVAK: Yeah, this was my sixth week in a row, but I felt pretty good out there, just couldn't really get much going. Some of the birdie holes I felt like I kept myself in it. Like I did make a few birdies today, but just some silly mistakes on some shots, just getting putts to the hole really.

Q. You were right there again. What positives do you take away from the week?

ANDREW NOVAK: Yeah, I played well, I was in the final group again, had a chance coming down the stretch yet again, I just didn't execute. It's a really good finish. I'm hoping next you know, I'm not playing next week, but the next opportunity is RBC Heritage. I grew up an hour and a half away from there. I don't know if I'm in the field, I don't know where I stand, I sure hope so. It's a tournament I grew up watching as a kid. Being a South Carolina kid, it's really something I'd love to play and I've never played in it, so I really hope I'm in it.
