The first nine holes, I played really well. I don't think I missed a fairway or green. I had some good momentum to build on.

It seemed when I missed a fairway or green, I couldn't get the ball up. The front nine is much more difficult than the back.

It was a bit discouraging (Thursday), but I knew it was the first round and there's a lot of holes to go. So, for some reason, I was still calm. There are a couple of holes here that can jump up and bite you. You've just got to try to learn how to stay a little more patient and not get ahead of yourself.

I played great on the front nine, but it's the last six holes that matter, ... Those two holes really killed me and went by really fast.

If you were in the fairway, the course played OK. And if you weren't, it played tough.

We played in the first three because we were always second to Green Bay.
