business hit low next root tree tried
I didn't have any business being over there. I was right next to a root and should have just chipped it out sideways. I tried to hit it low enough to get around the root, but it just popped up, hit the tree and went into the creek.
birdie bomb bunker five front hit iron left nice short
I made a really pretty birdie at 10, hit a nice five iron in there to about 10 feet. I made a bomb at 16 that was about 50 feet. Then I got up and down at 17 from the front right bunker and 18, I got it up and down from short of the left bunker.
ball hitting
It's not something so much conscious. I really don't know. I'm just hitting the ball a little more solid.
ball definitely hit
You must hit a long ball here. This is definitely a young man's course.
chip felt few hitting miracles putt shots
I felt that I had a few miracles out here happen. I have to chip and putt here. That's the only way I can get around, I'm hitting such long shots to the greens.

There are a lot of us who are happy we've had our time and it's time to start watching a bit.

almost continue course fun great love matter nice seen takes week
Well, I'd love to continue to see (the course) dry. I think a super-long course would almost be a little too much, but I don't know. It's very remote, as I said (after the first round). I don't know where this week is going to lead, but I've had so much fun playing. I've seen some great things happen. That's always nice no matter what you're doing. I'm just going to kind of see where it takes me this week.
ball change definitely help
We'll have to change gears. It's definitely going to help the long- ball hitters.
achievement cannot gotten imagine personal
There is nothing like it. You cannot imagine what it's like. It's a personal achievement and you feel like you've gotten through something very difficult.
takes week
I don't know where this week is going to lead, but I've had so much fun. I'm just going to kind of see where it takes me.
execute good round
I am disappointed. I didn't execute shots. I'm going to try to retrieve this round and have a good back nine.
wish
I wish to say it was different, but it's doubtful.
