I'm proud that I played solidly throughout the whole round. There were a couple of holes where I didn't feel that comfortable, but I just survived on those holes and I came back.
I played great on the front nine, but it's the last six holes that matter, ... Those two holes really killed me and went by really fast.
It's still going to be my goal to be able to make the cut, to be able to compete in the PGA events and to one day play in the Masters.
It was just a combination of bad shots that turned out to be really bad, and just a lot of wasted strokes out there. It was not my day.
After the sixth I felt a little bit more confident and it's a good start for tomorrow.
I'm excited for this event. I didn't really realize it was my first major as a professional. That's really cool.
I have played in rain before. I have played in wind before. I have played in cold before, but not all put together. They were the hardest conditions I ever played in.
I'm very relieved I got through today, ... It was really tough out there. It felt good after I made that putt. I have a lot more days to go, so hopefully I can keep that trend going.
I never had to wait like that before, ... I missed a couple of 4- or 5-foot putts that I should have made.
I'll be sure not to wear white tomorrow.
I wanted to be a little higher but considering I struggled in the middle I'm pretty happy,
I've just been so close all year long. So close to it. I just have to get over that last big step to win. It's hard.
It's hard to describe the feeling. I feel like it's kind of a wedding.
It went good, very bad, very good, then sort of OK. Like having all four seasons in one day.
