Q. I know it's been kind of a tough season. How would you characterize the season as a whole for you?
XANDER SCHAUFFELE: Yeah, at some point I'm going to sit back and reflect and try and learn something from it. Yeah, it was mentally a long season for me even though it was short. So physically I feel a lot better, which is a plus. No sort of recurring injury, which is a plus.
About the only positives I can think of so far.
Q. At what point did making next week feel out of reach this week for you?
XANDER SCHAUFFELE: I don't know, probably when I had to birdie like 90 percent of my holes.
Q. Obviously the season ends but you still have Ryder Cup coming up and things. How do you spend this next month trying to get your game in the right shape for that?
XANDER SCHAUFFELE: Probably more mental than anything else. I feel like I just need to sort of reset a little bit, cool off a little bit, and just get back to a healthy mental place where I want to sit down and work really hard again.
Right now I'm mentally a little tapped.
Q. Is it hard to do that reset just in the flow of a season when tournaments just keep coming and coming?
XANDER SCHAUFFELE: No, I mean, everyone out here is trying really hard. There's nothing worse than trying your hardest and playing like ass. It's the worst combo. Some of us do it, some of us don't. It's been a while since I have, and I did it for a few weeks now, and it sucked.
It's going to be nice to sit back and be at home and away from golf.
Q. What does a reset look like for you personally?
XANDER SCHAUFFELE: Just not golfing. Pretty simple, yeah. Not golfing, trying not to think about golf. Just hang out at home with my wife and my dogs. Yeah, don't even look at the clubs.
Q. Looked like you changed putters today.
XANDER SCHAUFFELE: I did, yeah.
Q. You made some more putts today. How did that feel?
XANDER SCHAUFFELE: Yeah, it wasn't really going to do anything. Like I said, I'm just trying to get to a place mentally where I'm okay and trying to have fun. Today was trying to -- it didn't matter. I could have shot 59 and not gotten to next week. Pretty depressing to think of it like that, but that's how I thought when I woke up, so I figured might as well have something different to look at and scare my old putter into working again at some point.
Q. When was the last time you changed putters?
XANDER SCHAUFFELE: I don't know, you'd have to ask someone from GolfWorks or something. I'm not sure. It's been red forever, and it's been the same one forever.
Q. Are you going to plan to play Procore? I know a lot of the Ryder Cup guys may go out there.
XANDER SCHAUFFELE: Yeah, I don't know how many guys have signed up or not, but I wouldn't say there's an expectation for us to play, but a lot of us do want to play just to stay fresh, knock off some rust. I'll have an even longer break, so we'll see how that goes.
