Svoboda takes a break

Andrew Svoboda finished up a little while ago, signed for an 80, and began to prepare for a better day tomorrow.
Weather permitting, of course.
“I’m doing fine,” the Larchmont resident said. “I’m just upset I didn’t play very well, so I want to come out here tomorrow and be real aggressive, try to make something happen. I have to shoot a real good round, which I can do. I’m hitting it great. I just got off to such a bad start yesterday in the rain, and today, I played really well.”
Svoboda was 7-over when play was stopped yesterday, and really made just one mistake today. He drove into the fescue on the fifth hole, lost the ball and suffered a triple bogey.
“When you’re having a bad hole you have to salvage a bogey and move on,” he said. “I didn’t hit a bad shot on 5, it came out a little left and went in that fescue.”
It’s pretty clear Svoboda isn’t getting caught up in the experience of playing in the U.S. Open. He’s been here before. Twice. Svoboda, who’s got a small gallery of Old Oaks members following him around, really wants to show what he can do.
“Those holes where you’re holding a scoring club, you have to hit them close and make birdie on those five holes,” he said. “And the other holes, you have to get lucky, play for par and maybe drop a long putt.”
Mike on 5 they lost his ball. It wasnt a great shot but why the marshalls werent paying attention. No excuse not being able to find the ball.
