came easier handling losing played start tough
You just feel for him. He had a tough day yesterday, and to start off like that, you feel for him. But he's handling it so well. It makes it easier for us because he's not losing it out there. He came back and played well. He's a professional about it. That's very impressive.

On number two you really felt for him. It helped us (Mize and Ben Crane) because he's not losing it out there. He'd be a really good poker player because you can't tell how he's doing.

Oh yeah (you feel for him). He's a good guy and a really good player. He's in a little bit of a struggle. I'm confident he will get it turned around.

Obviously, it's an innocent mistake, and now they can rectify it. I think that's good.

David is a good guy and you feel for him. I'm confident he will get it turned around.

It's an innocent mistake, and now they can rectify it. I think that's good.
hole looks second shot tee totally
It's a different hole than we used to play. If you're in the fairway the second shot looks pretty similar. But the tee shot is a totally different look from back there.
trying
We're just trying to play good. There's nothing to it.
benign conditions greens hit
They're softer, no question. I didn't hit a whole lot of greens to even tell you how they were responding. Conditions are pretty benign now.
champion major past unique
This is the only major that doesn't change. It's very unique to be a past champion and to come back. There's something about it that makes it special.
coming nervous
I was a little nervous coming down the stretch. I wanted to make it.
means
He's a stud. But really, it means a lot to me that he'd do that.
felt fun good second stuff today
Overall, I'm very encouraged. I felt like I did some good stuff today and the first and second day. I had a lot of fun today. I still think I can play and compete.
