Interview With David Edwards From The Commerce Bank Championship

With a one-under 70 Danny Edwards finds himself tied for twenty-seventh heading into the second-round of the Commerce Bank Championship at Eisenhower Park. Paired along side Jay Sigel who shot a 3-under 68 and Jim Dent who shot a disappointing four-over 75, Edwards stayed his ground on a difficult golf course.

I had the opportunity to speak with Mr.Edwards after his first-round of play to discuss his performance and the comments made by playing partner Jim Dent.

David: How would you assess your play today?

Mr. Edwards: I didn’t really drive the ball very well. I played decent, had a few good iron shots and some crucial par plays.

David: Many players said there were challenging par fours. What did you think?

Mr. Edwards: There were long par fours, first with fairway wood, fourth hole driver and fairway wood, 15 is long, very long par fours.

David: Your playing partner today Jim Dent was very displeased with how the fans behaved. What was your impression and do you think he overreacted?

Mr. Edwards: This is a nice place to play. You must have patients, he gets impatient.

David: What do you need to do to stay in contention?

Mr. Edwards: Today I did not play well. I must drive better and keep the ball in play.
