Notable Quotes from Coachella Valley’s Humana Challenge
2015 Humana Challenge Champion Bill Haas, speaking to Golf Channel’s Roger Maltbie on whether he thought he would contend this week
Bill Haas – “Not at all. I called my wife before the week started and told her I didn’t think I was going to be able to score this week…I was grinding it out to the end. This is unbelievable. This is great.”
Haas talking to Golf Channel’s Roger Maltbie on his initial thoughts when he saw where his drive landed on 18 (edge of the bunker)
Haas – “I can’t tell you what I was thinking (laughter). It was a bad drive. I could have easily whiffed that second shot. I’m glad I got it down the fairway.”
On Haas’ second shot on 18 from the lip of a bunker that he punched out to the fairway
Nick Faldo (@NickFaldo006) – Haas’ caddie, Scotty, did very good job directing him with that shot. It could have been a disaster.”
On Erik Compton, T10 at -19 after being tied for the lead heading into today’s final round
Roger Maltbie – “This is a good learning experience for Erik. I think he will come away with more knowledge about Erik Compton and how he handles the pressure of a final round.”
Faldo – “If he picks the right courses, he can win out here. He will definitely churn it out again.”
Faldo – “I think it is a start of a good run for him.”
On Matt Kuchar, finishing T2, one shot back at -21
Phil Parkin – “He has just not quite putted as well as he is capable of the past couple of days.”
