It's amazing how easy things were yesterday, and today I worked really hard for my 1 under. I was pleased with my round. I really like my position. |
It's just a lot of joy, a lot of good things happened this week. I have a lot of friends, my sister and my cousin are here from Mexico. There are more than 30 from Mexico here. |
It's OK. I'm going to show what I have with my game, and I think this is a good way to start. |
Last year, I felt really good. I enjoy playing here. |
My best putt of the day. It gave me confidence, made me happy. |
On 18, I'll never forget that. I know I'm doing good under pressure when I need to. I think I lost the tournament with my driver on the back nine. I had the lead ... I didn't take advantage of opportunities. |
On this course, if you are hitting the ball great you can make a lot of birdies. I made two eagles today so that was a big difference in my game. |
The more chances I have, the better, and I'm going to keep trying. |
The tournament in Vegas was a really special week for me. I'm ready to go on and I'm just trying to do the same thing and, you know, take one day at a time and see what happens. |
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. |
There is going to be a time when they come my way. |
This is like a major for me so I learned a lot. I know for sure that next week is going to be a lot easier. |
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. |
When you're playing a major and trying to win a tournament, things are going to happen, especially on this course. If you come in the rough or in the bunker, you can have a bogey out there. It's like, be patient, accept whatever happens and be really focused. That's the plan, be patient out there and enjoy it. |
