U.S. AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

August 15, 2016

Sam Horsfield

Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

Q. It's got to be a good feeling to get the first round under your belt?
SAM HORSFIELD: Yeah, I could have made a couple more putts. I think me and my caddie were talking, and I think I missed eight putts inside of 12 feet, so I just hit it really good today, and it was fun. Fun to get back into it after playing the Western last week. It was fun to get back into a tournament.

Q. You say you missed some short putts, but you had four birdies, five birdies on the day.
SAM HORSFIELD: I had five birdies and a bogey, yeah. I think I hit 17 greens in regulation, and three of my birdies came from I had three eagle putts. From there, it's kind of hard to not play good.

Q. What are your thoughts on the North Course today?
SAM HORSFIELD: It's playing -- it's definitely not the harder of the courses, so I felt like come in here and get a good score, which I did, and then tomorrow on the South Course we'll see how it is. It's supposed to rain, which will soften it up, which is an advantage for me. I hit it quite far and I hit it quite high. I'm excited for tomorrow.

Q. You mentioned it a little bit, which leads me to the question, North Course being easier, in quotes, of the two courses. Did you think about putting a big number up today to get a little pad for tomorrow?
SAM HORSFIELD: You can't really think about that. At the end of the day, I'm just trying to go out there and play my best, and if I have a good day, then I shoot whatever, and if I have a bad day, I go make it up tomorrow. You can't put too much pressure on yourself, especially when you're just trying to finish in the top 64, make it to the match play.
