Mark Calcavecchia Played Quotations

Today I felt good. Actually, starting out I almost felt too relaxed. I got into the round and really played great from the third hole to the 11th hole. I played okay on the back, but birdied the last hole which was nice. Two real good ones there.

I actually like that, because then it feels like everyone is on a level playing field, ... As the week goes along, you learn the course a little more. It's kind of fun going to play somewhere I've never played before.

There's a long ways to go. JJ played a great round and I saw what he was doing out there. You know you've got to make birdies. It really doesn't change your thinking any.

I needed to shoot a good score today, and I did, ... I played well, got a great break on one hole. I snap-hooked a drive on the par- five seventh into the hazard. It was dead left. It hit a tree and popped out to the front edge of the fairway about 100 yards off the tee. I laid up with a three-iron and hit a sand-wedge about three feet and made a four. It should have been a six or who knows what.

I played awful, ... If there weren't 20 marshals on every hole and a couple of thousand spectators, I would have lost five balls today and shot about 84. I missed the last eight fairways and was in the weeds every hole. I turned an 80, literally, into a 71.
