Round 4: World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational

Jim Furyk would probably like to have that wedge at the par-5 16th hole back. The ball hit into the bank beside the green on the longest hole on the PGA TOUR this year and spun back into the water.

Instead of staring at a birdie putt, Furyk had to get up-and-down for bogey. But he bounced back with a birdie at the 18th hole for a 64 that left him 7 under and tied for sixth.

"It’s disappointing, but there’s nothing you can do about it," Furyk said. "I’ve always been able to accept things when I’ve hit good shots. When I’ve done all I could, when I hit a good putt and it didn’t go in, or I hit a good shot and it turned out bad, I can kind of accept that.

"The things I’ve beat myself up over in my career are when I’ve hit poor shots or haven’t done the right things or made a good stroke or … made a good swing. When you lose tournaments that way, it lingers with you. But I did all I could today, and if I have to fault really anything, I didn’t set myself up very well the first three days."

Furyk opened with a 72 but broke par in each of the next three rounds. He’s won twice in 2010 and the 2003 U.S. Open champ will be looking for the second leg of the career Grand Slam at Whistling Straits next week.

"I feel pretty good," Furyk said. "I played well last week (T9 at The Greenbrier Classic) and never really got over the hump. I feel like I’ve played better than what I got out of this week. I talked to my caddie a little bit yesterday, my dad is my teacher, I talked to him last night, and I said, when I made some poor swings, when I’ve had trouble getting the ball in the fairway or missing greens, I’ve really scrapped it out and gotten the ball in the hole, and the problem I was having is that when I’ve hit it well and given myself a lot of opportunities, I haven’t taken advantage of them.

"I haven’t got a round going where I got it way under par and I kind of fixed that a little bit today.  I got to see some putts going in, so that makes me feel better for next week." – Helen Ross
