That was a pretty crucial eagle. And the momentum definitely turned there.
We made a couple of birdies and suddenly the momentum swung in our favour.
It's always nice to get off to a good start and get some momentum for the week. It's no fun getting off to a rotten start. You have to fight back all the way, and you don't feel like you can make any mistakes.
It's very important to take the lead early on. You want to set the pace. It's great to have the momentum on your side. It's tough to fight from behind.
The momentum is not there. I hit a lot of good shots, but my good shots don't get close.
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.
The eagle on 14 was crucial. We struggled a bit on the back nine and the momentum certainly swung our way again with that eagle.
We don't voice our opinions the way they do. Hopefully, we can let our clubs do the talking.
I've never seen anything like it. The last time I saw crowds like this was the U.S. Open on a Sunday,
The spectators have been fantastic. It has been a really first-class event and I'm happy here.
I've been there before. You've just got to keep on grinding. I proved it again to myself that you just can never give up.
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.
They always have a great field in Phoenix. That's what makes it one of the best tournaments on the tour. I have some wonderful memories from playing in Phoenix, and certainly winning the last two at Superstition Mountain are included, so I'm looking forward to coming back.
