I was tempted to use my 3-iron again after I three-putted two straight greens,

Absolutely. If it was wet, I'd be hitting two more clubs iron-wise into the greens, and then it would be really tough. The firmness of the fairways brings the field a little closer.

Yes, it was a straight-up deal,

It's not particularly long, so if your iron game is in good shape, these greens are really beautiful. I mean, they're rolling so nicely,

When I came to the course, there were three temporary greens, 11, 13 and 18. In the interview, they asked if 18 would be playable by the end of the season. I said, absolutely.

It was only a five-iron. It wasn't a three-iron or two-iron. I hit the shot exactly how I pictured it. The wind switched on us. It ended up being a good eagle.
