I started a little bit shaky but I had Phil to guide me around here. We made some good putts and it went really well.

On the front nine I never really did anything. All of my birdie putts were really too far away to make anything,

Just about every player on tour has a bad back. It's just one of those games that does mess you up a little bit. You've got to keep looking after it.

It's great to get off to a good start. Now, I have something to build on for the next three rounds. Obviously there is still a long way to go but I'm very happy to start off like this.

My putting is good at the moment, ... I'm making a lot of good saves out of the rough.
