    BERNHARD LANGER Sunday, April 21, 2013

    Greater Gwinnett Championship INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT: BERNHARD LANGER Sunday, April 21, 2013 DAVE SENKO: Bernhard, congratulations, win number 18 and just a continuation of what's been a great year so far with two wins, two 2nds and a 3rd. Maybe just share your thoughts on winning by three shots, especially after to getting off to a little bit of a slow start on Friday. BERNHARD LANGER: It certainly was a slow start, I think I shot 9-under in the pro-am on Thursday and then shot 1-over the next day. I wasn't pleased with that. When I first set foot here at Sugarloaf, I really enjoyed the golf course. I said this is an amazing, good golf course, really reminded me of Augusta, same type of grass, similar tough greens and just in very good shape. I really just enjoyed playing golf here. It's a golf course where you have to think, where you have to position your shots, where you have options. You can play aggressive and if you pull it off you're going to get rewarded, and if you miss it a few you're going to get punished, and I enjoy those kind of golf courses. I was fortunate enough to play very well on the weekend and make a few putts, but hit some good shots. Today I got off to a really good start with 3-under after 5 and then especially the birdie on 5 was incredible. I think that was a really tough pin. I was surprised they even put the pin over there behind the tall tree because if you're in the middle of the fairway coming in with a 6- or 7-iron there, you can't even aim at the flag, you have to go 20 feet right or something and then it slopes off further right.

    Zurich Classic Scoring Records

    Zurich Classic of New Orleans Record Book (est. 2017, thru 2019) *2017 & 2018 Format Information: An historic change was made to the format of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in 2017, making the event a two-player team event featuring Foursomes (alternate shot) during the first and third rounds and Four-ball (best ball) during the second and fourth rounds. A change was made at the 2018 Zurich Classic of New Orleans , with the two formats switching rotations. Rounds one and three in the two-player team event featured the Four-ball (best ball) format, while the second and fourth rounds used the Foursomes (alternate shot) format. Since the formation of the PGA TOUR (1968), the Zurich Classic became the first official event to utilize Foursomes as part of a team competition. The 2017 Zurich Classic was the first official PGA TOUR team event in 36 years. Before that, the last official PGA TOUR team event was the 1981 Walt Disney World National Team Championship held at the Magnolia, Palm and Lake Buena Vista courses at Disney. Vance Heafner and Mike Holland won that title. The tournament became an individual stroke-play event in 1982. The Zurich Classic awards FedExCup points and official money and counts as an official victory for the members of the winning team.

ABOUT WESTCHESTER COUNTRY CLUB Three-time U.S. Amateur champion Walter J. Travis laid out the two 18-hole golf courses at Westchester Country Club, just 30 miles outside New York City, that opened in 1922. The courses were built by the Philadelphia-based architectural firm of Toomey and Flynn who built the modern course at Shinnecock Hills toward the end of the same decade. The club joined the USGA on Jan. 13, 1922, several months before the courses opened for play that summer. The West Course has hosted many memorable golf events over its history. Beginning with the 1923 U.S. Women’s Amateur, the course went on to host 44 PGA Tour events. The Thunderbird Classic came to Westchester in 1963, with Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus winning two of the first three years.

Appropriately enough, the first Cham- pionship to be held there was the Women's Amateur of 1906, won by Miss Harriot Curtis, co-donor with her sister Margaret of the Curtis Cup. In 1919 Walter Hagen won his second USGA Open Championship there before embarking on his British conquests in the '20s. Brae Burn was the scene of another Anglo-American battle when Robert T.

And now for the Curtis Cup. In the past the United States has won six Curtis Cup Matches to Britain's two, and the 1936 series at Gleneagles, Scotland, re- sulted in a tie at 4% points each.
