Rory On Distance: "It went on too long and too far to bring the game to where it was in the mid-90s.”

In his weekly notes column, AP’s Doug Ferguson features this quote from Rory McIlroy without attribution to the context or location:

“I think we're too far down the road to do anything drastic. It went on too long and too far to bring the game to where it was in the mid-90s.” — Rory McIlroy on what golf should do about distance.

It’s an odd one since (A) no one I’m aware of has mentioned going back to mid-90s distances, (B) it’s a contradiction of his wildly inconsistent array of past comments that have covered the gamut from pro-rollback to you-can’t-stop-the-athletes (here, here, and here for starters), (C) it’s oddly short-sighted for a player of McIlroy’s depth and past statements to say the problem is so far gone that inaction is the remedy.

Anyway, anyone know where this was said and what the context was?
