Well, I'm very happy with the way I played. It was one of my goals just to have a good first day to make sure that I have a chance to win a tournament on the weekend. I got off to a good start last week and was really focused today. I feel great.

I think last year in this tournament I learned more than I did in three years on tour.

I just forgot to hit it. It was a good distance, but I didn't have a good lie.

This is like a major for me so I learned a lot. I know for sure that next week is going to be a lot easier.

I didn't have my best round today. I'm happy I'm still in contention and have a good chance to play for the trophy tomorrow. I hope the birdies I didn't make today, they drop tomorrow. I feel good. It's OK to be a couple of shots back.

I gave myself a chance to win the tournament. I came from behind and I had a really good run on Friday and Saturday. I was just happy that I had an opportunity and I did my best ... The more chances I have, the better.

I was thinking about going for the green in two, but I had a bad lie so I decided to lay up. I am pleased with the way I played the final two rounds after I didn't have a good first round.

I tried not to pay too much attention. I was very confident about my putt.

The more chances I have, the better, and I'm going to keep trying.
