Loren Roberts Good Quotations

When it's windy it's tough to control your speed and that's the whole key to putting for me. The good putts you make are the ones you make for par. ... If you can make those 4- or 5- or 6-footers for par that's huge.

I hit the ball very solid today, especially on the front nine and got off to a good start. It's nice to get a good round in early because you never know what the weather is going to do here.

I feel comfortable and I feel good with the way I'm swinging. I'm not having to make a lot of swing thoughts. I'm basically getting up there, seeing the shot and ripping at it.

It was a good par on 16 and 17 was key. I got to make that putt to even have a chance. Those putts on 17 and 18 were the two best putts I hit all week and they came at the right time. I'm delighted with the way I finished. I finally finished a round off.

The courses are totally different. You can score on this course if the winds are low. It was perfect out there today. You saw that with all the low scores. I had a pretty commercial 63. It's a good way to start the year.

I was just amazed at how good the course was, just incredible the shape it was in with all the rain. I only had to take casual water relief twice, and the greens held up very well.

I remember last year, I was pretty excited, ... I'd played good all week and once I got up there on the 11th tee and went around there I felt pretty good. But you are going to get tired here if you're not in shape.
