clean couple definitely fortunate good hit round score shots
I think that there was definitely a 6-under score had to be had out there by somebody. I was fortunate enough where my round wasn't clean and perfect, but there were enough shots where I hit it good enough to give myself opportunities and I had a couple of good breaks.
conditions definitely quite score somebody
Conditions were quite easy. There was definitely a 6-under score to be had out there by somebody and I was fortunate.
five near normal score stay
Five under is a normal score if you want to stay near the top.
birdie chip difficult fortunate four good green nice score shot sneaky thinking three walk
The par-five I made a nice little five-foot birdie putt. That was a sneaky one down the hill. Then I chipped in from over the back of the green on six. It was a very difficult chip and it went in. That was a very fortunate shot there because I really was thinking four would be a good score to walk away with, so three was a bonus.
benign conditions course scores
The course had benign conditions for us. Scores are to be had out there.

When we come over here, we're certainly very proud to represent our country.

When you saw him attack the course, well, we all wanted to be like the Shark.
course driver harder hit holes tried
There are some holes on the course that I tried to hit my driver harder than I hit it all year,
match matches situation trying week win
Match play is a situation where you need to win your matches and be aggressive, and I think that's something that I'm trying to use this week as preparation.
anxious
That was as anxious as I got today. That was me panicking.
ball bit climb confidence control decided due gained good grown hitter last learn length open
I was a pretty long hitter when I was younger. I was pretty wild, too. I had to learn to control the ball a bit more. Then last year, I decided to open up a bit more and I gained a good climb in distance. My length has grown due to some confidence in my swing, and some trusting. Once you get that, you can open it up a bit.
low seen shot strong trying wind
I would like to have shot lower, but it was pretty trying out there. The wind was as strong as I've ever seen it. You just weren't going to see a low score.
ball club drove face golf good hit middle solid
Just good solid golf all day. I drove the ball well, hit the middle of the club face a lot of times...and here we are.
change grab mixing start stuff
You don't change the recipe, you just go and grab stuff and start mixing in the bowl. And that was really what I thought today.
