Final Round Interview with Corey Conners
Q. Corey, perhaps not the finish you wanted on 18 there, but a solid week overall at a golf course that you've won at twice. Just what are your overall thoughts on the week that was?
COREY CONNERS: Yeah, it was a tricky week. The weather really turned the last couple days, played tough. Had a solid round going yesterday, just a few too many mistakes to get myself near the top of the leaderboard.
I wasn't thrilled with how I played today, but hit a lot of decent shots, just didn't seem to guess right or get the wind right at times, just a little bit off.
Yeah, solid week, fun coming back here with the family. Wasn't meant to be this week, but looking forward to getting back here next year.
Q. What is it about this golf course, about this tournament that keeps you coming back every year?
COREY CONNERS: I think the setup's great. It's awesome to bring the family here, it's a fun place to be with them. Everything's close by, staying right next door at the hotel. It's a golf course that's really tricky and challenges every aspect of your game. You've really got to be in control of your ball so it's always a fun challenge.
Q. You bring a couple of really strong finishes into this event, three in the top10 in a row coming into this event. How are you feeling about the state of your game heading into the Masters next week?
COREY CONNERS: Yeah, I feel pretty good. There was a lot of bright spots this week. A few things I would like to tidy up, but feeling pretty solid about the game overall. Felt like compared to some of the weeks in Florida where I was near the lead was just a little tidier in my game. A few errors this week were costly, but lots of good stuff in there.
Q. I'm sure you came into this week with maybe a list of things you wanted to work on ahead of Augusta, goals for the week other than winning the golf tournament. What were some of those goals and how do you feel you did on accomplishing them?
COREY CONNERS: I wanted to just get into a nice rhythm with the ball-striking, driving's really important here. It's important at Augusta as is every part of the game. Wanted to feel a little better with you know, make a few more putts to get some confidence with the putter going into next week. Wasn't quite able to do that. Yeah, overall I was certainly focused on having a good week here, I wasn't thinking too much ahead, but try to get into good rhythm with the game, learned some things and we'll work to tidy that up the next few days getting ready for the Masters.
