A pre-putt routine helps you stay nice and relaxed so you can make the best stroke possible.
My body is a little bit sore from all of the practicing and playing and training, and your mind gets a little tired of it, too. It's nice to be able to recharge and come back fresh for the remainder of the year.
This is very familiar to me, some of my room-mates are out there. It's always nice to be back.
It's nice starting off the year with the checklist not as long to get ready for Augusta than it was last year when I had to make some major changes. This year it is just fine-tuning which is great.
It's nice to see that I made a comeback,
It's nice to putt on greens that are smooth again.
(I) just stayed patient. I missed a couple of putts early in the round, but finally got it going on the back nine. I made some nice putts on the back nine for birdies as well as par. It turned out to be a really nice day.
That was a nice little shot because I had to hit it a little easy, a little soft. Actually, it was a perfect 2-iron yardage. But I needed the height there. Either that or it was in the water.
You have the top-end players playing, which is great. It's nice to have a field like this to compete in. We always enjoy it, going against the best, and it's going to be a lot of fun.
I've fallen in love with the course, and the environment. I've never been a fan of TPC courses, so it's nice to play old-school courses like this one that are laid out right in front of you. It's not one of the hardest, but it's fair and you know you have to go low.
I hit two really nice shots and then just chickened out on a bunker shot and left it way short. I wasn't in position to make birdie, and he was. And I made the putt and he didn't. All of a sudden, it looked from potentially going back to 2 up for him ... now we're all square.
It started off with some nice birdies at first, and after that Funky just took over,
