Q.  Tough going out there, mate.  How would you reflect on the round?

CAMERON SMITH:  I don’t know, really.  I was just kind of a bit flat all day, couldn’t really get any momentum going.  Hit a few good shots earlier in the round and didn’t hole many putts, and then the run started to come there towards the end.  Just one of those days.  In the end, probably 2 over isn’t that bad.

Q.  Confident that you can recover?

CAMERON SMITH:  Yeah.

Q.  You seemed a bit flat.

CAMERON SMITH:  Yeah, I’m just tired, I think.  Just a long couple weeks and, I mean, it was ‑‑ I mean, it’s as easy as it’s going to get out there this morning, so it was pretty disappointing to shoot what I shot.  By the same token, like I said, I was 4 over at one point and had a couple birdies to get it back, so I got something to look forward to at least for tomorrow.

Q.  Grant said he didn’t sense anything in this morning in the warm‑up that you were flat or anything, he said you hit like you normally do.

CAMERON SMITH:  I actually felt all right this morning.  I think once I got going, that’s when I started to kind of struggle.  Usually it’s the other way around, usually I kind of start slow on the range and then once I get into it, it’s fine.  I don’t know, just used up maybe a little bit too much energy, you know, trying to make those putts early in the round and trying to get something going and then just a couple poor swings, you know, on the back nine.  I didn’t really know where it was going.  It was just one of those kind of days where a par was a good score.

Q.  How hard was it to steady there after the couple of holes?

CAMERON SMITH:  Yeah, I just had no idea, to be honest.  I really got no excuse or anything like that, it was just ‑‑ it is what it is.

Q.  Will you spend some time on the range now?

CAMERON SMITH:  I don’t feel like I have enough energy to go to the range, so I think I’m going to go have a nap and then, I don’t know, maybe run around the beaches with the kids we’re staying with and stuff.  That’s probably going to entail the afternoon.  Not much.

Q.  What time did you set the alarm for this morning?

CAMERON SMITH:  3:00.

Q.  3:00 a.m., so your preparations are a couple hours worth just getting your body stretched out?

CAMERON SMITH:  Yeah.  So I woke up at 3:00 and I pressed the snooze a couple times, it’s hard to get up that early.  Yeah, we left the house at 4:00 and got here shortly after.  Yeah, started going through the normal routine.

Q.  On the second hole, the par 3 where you went long left, what club did you hit off the tee there?

CAMERON SMITH:  Yeah, that was a 6‑iron.  Probably ‑‑ I mean, I had those ‑‑ it was just like almost like a weak body swing, I couldn’t get my body through the ball, my arms were taking over.  I had that long left miss all day and it was just kind of frustrating, and that’s when it all kind of fell apart.

Q.  You sort of bumped into the bank and came back.

CAMERON SMITH:  Yeah.  I thought ‑‑ I actually got a pretty good lie down there and I thought that it was going to come out a bit different.  I didn’t really necessarily hit a bad shot, it’s just tough down there and it didn’t come off.

Q.  What did you hit on the next hole, your backswing with the branches?  That didn’t slow you off, did it?

CAMERON SMITH:  Yeah, I didn’t think I was going to hit the branches there on my backswing.  Kind of got me by surprise and threw me off a little bit, but actually got ‑‑ I hit the tree and actually got quite lucky that it went that way and not the other way.

Q.  Do you put yourself in the hands of Jack this afternoon, get him to administer positivities now?

CAMERON SMITH:  Yeah, I guess so.  Yeah, I don’t think we’ll be doing much this afternoon.  I think it would just be all fun and games, I’m sure, trying to forget about the round today and come out tomorrow with a fresh mind.
