close finished strong though
I didn't get mad. We just kind of let it go and I finished strong. Even though I didn't make any birdies, I finished strong and I was really close to the hole.
ball close good hitting kept next pin three
It was just amazing. I kept hitting the ball close to the pin and then making putts. It was a really good day and now I just want to do the same in the next three rounds.
ball birdie close frustrated hit key left truth
The truth is I hit the ball well and I'm a little frustrated I didn't make more birdies. The key was I didn't make a lot of putts because I wasn't close to the hole. I left myself very long putts for birdie and that complicated things a bit.

It was tough out there today. If this is my bad round, then I am in good shape.

Everything was easy, and everything was so clear. It was fun to be out there.

I was nervous, but I don't want to say that affected me. I was more relaxed than last year. I am still positive and going to play aggressive.

My best putt of the day. It gave me confidence, made me happy.

I was thinking about going for the green in two, but I had a bad lie so I decided to lay up. I am pleased with the way I played the final two rounds after I didn't have a good first round.

I was happy to see that. That made me feel comfortable. But I didn't change my plans.

I think I lost the tournament with my driver on the back nine.

Well, I'm very happy with the way I played. It was one of my goals just to have a good first day to make sure that I have a chance to win a tournament on the weekend. I got off to a good start last week and was really focused today. I feel great.

I think last year in this tournament I learned more than I did in three years on tour.

I'm staying positive. Up until now, the difference isn't that great. With a good round tomorrow, I can give the leaders a scare.
ball farther hitting last yards
I'm hitting the ball probably 10 yards farther than last year.
