I'm excited to be here. It's great to be back as a defending champion. I think the golf course is in as good shape as I've ever seen it. I think that makes it even more special. I think I'm as ready as I can be.
I'm playing good enough, but it's got to happen.
I'm very happy with the way I played. I feel good about my game and I'm just happy that I was able to score. I wanted some good momentum and to leave here with some good spirits.
I'm happy to come out and be able to read some greens. Last week, I couldn't see a single thing. I would tell my caddie, 'I think it's left edge,' and he would say, 'No, I think it's on the right.' I really didn't know what to do. Here, I have a good feel, and it's nice to be back on the right track again.
I'm happy to be back in Ohio. This state has been very good to me. And my first impression is the course is a good one. You really can hit the ball well here, I think.
It was not a very good day for me. I didn't play well at all. I just want to forget about this day as quickly as possible.
Not a good day at all. I made zero putts. And I thought I'd finally got these Evian greens figured out.

It was good to recharge the batteries, but three weeks went by very quickly. I think a four-day tournament is really what it's all about. If you think about all the big tournaments that we play, all the majors, it's more of a true test - a four-day tournament.
I've been hitting it beautifully, driving it good and hitting a lot of greens. But nothing seems to happen. I'm being optimistic, my game is there.
I've been on vacation for two weeks. I feel very relaxed. I've had a chance to practice quite a bit the last two days. I needed a break, but now I feel good again, so I'm looking forward to a great week.
The momentum is not there. I hit a lot of good shots, but my good shots don't get close.
The Mizuno Classic has been good to me. This is the first time I've had no bogeys in a 54-hole round and the first time with no 3-putts so I was very consistent and solid.
