Q. Walk us through the triple bogey on the 15th.

A. Second shot was from the fairway, 4 wood. I just swung too fast and ended up way left and OB. Then I dropped provisional, then that shot OB. 2 times in a row. And I shot the next one to the green, then 2 putts. Ended as triple bogey.

Q. How was the distance for the putt?

A. The first putt was just off the left edge, may be 30 feet? My triple bogey putt was maybe 4 feet.

Q. How did you feel after the double OB?

A. I only played one bad hole. That was it. I was 2 under par before that, so I knew I was playing okay. So, I said it was okay, just one bad hole. 16 and 17 are difficult holes, so I wanted to make pars on 16 and 17. 18 is east par 5 today, so I thought if I could turn with even par, that would be good result. And then you know I got bit of a run on front nine.

Q. From past results, tied-6th in 2014, tied-8th in 2015, you seem to like this course?

A. Hey, this is the place I had my first win, long long time ago, but I still have memories of that. Obviously, the golf course has changed little bit. This year the course is more difficult. The rough is quite long, but I think my game management has been very good. I am hitting irons on the holes that I don't feel comfortable on, and I am playing smart. And I putted pretty well today.

Q. You are in good position after the first round. What is your plan for the remaining 3 rounds to get your hands on that trophy?

A. It is very difficult to have an interview after the first round and to think about winning, because one round doesn't mean anything you know? Its all about positioning. It's not about that. Of course, I want to win, everyone here wants to win, but there's a lot of things that happen in 72 holes. Like today I had really really bad hole. That could happen every day, and all of the sudden, I may not be coming 2nd I could be coming 32nd. So, I just need to keep smart. I need to keep playing to my strength. And my strength is generally the way that I think my right way around the golf course. I just got to try not make the mistakes I made today. I only made one triple bogey but no bogeys. So, it was pretty good round of golf apart from that one hole.
