It was just one of those days. I am happy with the way I am playing, I just couldn't get it together today. I'm just glad I made birdie on the last hole. Hopefully I can turn it around.
This is kind of close to my home in Tahoe, so it's about time I came back, ... I am happy to be here and I look forward to playing this weekend.
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.
I'm happy to be back. I have great memories from this place. I won the championship twice, and last year's was obviously a great way. I remember playing really well and it was one of those weeks where everything went my way.
I'm happy with my day. I made a lot of birdies and I made an eagle. I did make a few mistakes.
I've had four weeks off, so I'm happy to be here. I'm ready to come back and play some tournaments. I am excited to get going again. I normally don't have four weeks off in the summer, but it just turned out to be that this year. I played in Europe three weeks and needed a long break.
It's crazy, really. It's been a very long day and I'm happy to be done. For these fans to stay around here is amazing.
You can never really win a tournament on the first day, but I feel sometimes there's a chance you can lose it by shooting a high score. So I'm very happy with this start. It was really the start I wanted.
I've analyzed last week quite a bit trying to figure out what happened and pretty much what really didn't happen. I just came to the conclusion that I tried, but things just didn't add up. I was pretty happy with the way I hit the ball and pretty happy the way I was putting. I just wasn't happy with where I ended up.
The spectators have been fantastic. It has been a really first-class event and I'm happy here.
Obviously, I'm very, very happy to get a chance to do something today that nobody has ever done before.
Obviously I'm very happy with my position. It was good steady golf, hitting a lot of fairways and greens and I'm putting very well.
