I didn't play as crisply today and some of it was the back. I was a little jumpy. I didn't want to hit it too hard. When it [back] gets like this, it produces some unwanted situations. |
I don't get too excited with first-round scores. But you have to be up there to have a chance. It's always good to be in the mix. |
I feel like I've left a few out there, but coming in with two birdies on the final two holes sort of eliminates some of that. |
I got a swift kick in the tail end this week. |
I got off to a good start with birdies on three of four holes and kept it going the rest of the way, |
I had my chances. I didn't have my putts on the last few holes and I am disappointed. I knew I needed to play strong today and didn't play well. |

I have been there, and I know I can do it. Whether it happens or not, I don't know. I think experience is a great factor. I don't anticipate Dana playing poorly. I just have to play well. |
I hit a lot of very good golf shots this week, |
I hit a lot of very good golf shots this week. I'm not going to beat up my short game, but I had some putting difficulty. But I'm not complaining. |
I just never subscribed to the theory that at age 55, you fall off the face of the earth on the Tour, ... I always felt that was too young of an age for that. |

I knew when I hit it that it wasn't enough. The lie was tight and the ball was above my feet I didn't execute it very well. I needed to hit it solidly but I hit it a little heavy. |
I played as well on the front nine as I've played in many, many years. I should have gotten more than 3 under par out of it. Then I got frustrated on the second nine and shot 1 over. This was one of those rounds that could have been really, really low, but I couldn't make any putts. |
