balls chilly playing
It was a little chilly out there. I didn't play well, but it could have been worse. It's playing pretty long. The balls weren't going very far.

We've gotten to know each other pretty well over the last few years. He's a great guy. I really enjoy playing with him.
against definitely grinding player playing proud trophy wish
I wish they'd give the trophy away today, but they don't. It's definitely an accomplishment, and I'm proud of myself for grinding it out and playing so well against the No. 1 player in the world.
couple forward great hardest looking playing wind
Obviously, it's been the hardest course. I'm looking forward to playing it. If the wind is not blowing, you can make some birdies. In turn, if the wind is blowing, a couple under is a great score.
bad couple definitely everybody felt golf hitting instead last miss nervous playing relax special time worried worry wrong
It's such a special place. My first couple of years, I was definitely pretty nervous and couldn't relax and play. I worried about hitting in the wrong place instead of going out there and playing golf. I felt like the last couple of years I've been able to play golf and not worry so much about hitting bad shots, because everybody is going to miss it in the wrong place some time or another.
forward hardest looking playing wind
It's been the hardest course. I am looking forward to playing it. I think if the wind is not blowing, you can make some birdies out there.
course easiest good guys playing safe scores shoot
I don't know if there is a safe lead. You can have some guys playing Bermuda Dunes, I think that's the easiest course and you can shoot some good scores out there.
hit
Even if you don't hit it a mile, you've got a chance.
honest ready
Didn't y'all? I was getting ready to go to No. 1, to be honest with you.
expect low phenomenal scores throughout
You expect low scores out here, but don't usually expect a 60. That's a phenomenal round. You can't really get too overwhelmed with the first round. You've just got to keep it up throughout the week.
celebrate halfway holes left
There's nothing to celebrate yet. You know, there's 36 holes left and we're only halfway through.
beat gave tournament trophy wish
The tournament is not over yet, just because you beat one guy. I wish it was. I wish they gave the trophy away today, but they don't.
achievement beat definitely grinding proud tournament
The tournament is not over yet, just because you beat one guy. It's definitely an accomplishment, and I'm proud of myself for grinding it out.
athletes beginning problem younger
I wasn't there at the beginning of the year, but I think the problem here is that we have to get athletes to come out and play. We've been shorthanded and had to play the younger kids.
