I've known Phil a long time and I respect his game. He has a family now, so I don't hang around with him much any more. But when we play, it's a nice time.
The crowds have always been phenomenal. They root hard. I do well here, so they back me.
The first day was a fluke. Today, I was finally sharp and made a lot of putts. I've been playing here 25 years, so I have a feel for the course.
You won't hear any complaints from me. You have to play more defensively than you normally might here, but it is what it is and you just have to deal with it and play through it.
These guys that win this thing, you've got to putt well. Today wasn't horrible, but it was just mediocre, and I couldn't get one to go in the hole and get any momentum.
This is my favorite course. If you hit the ball a long way, you have a bit of an advantage.
