It's been a lot of fun hitting a lot of good shots. Hitting most of the greens and making a real good percentage of those putts - that's a good combination.

I guess I had one too many bogeys this week. I had one.

I thought if I made my putt on 18, we'd be in a playoff. He just closed the door on me.

The conditions were perfect for scoring. It was there to be had if you hit the shots. I got off to a ho-hum start and then I got it going (with a birdie at the par-5 fourth). I thought someone could shoot 59 at the start of the day.

It's been a dream to win the first tournament of the year, some year. I've played for 30 years and haven't done that so this is a great opportunity for me.

I'm looking forward to this year. I still have a ways to go, but I like where it's going right now. You never know what you're going to shoot in the first round of the year. All of a sudden, things started working just fine.
