March 22, 2017
Austin, Texas
Q. You won the first hole and extended the lead from there.
DANIEL BERGER: Yeah, there's no one in this field that you want to play. So you've really got to show up and play hard, and I did that today.
Q. You showed up here injured, with an injured shoulder. It doesn't look injured today.
DANIEL BERGER: Every once in awhile it flares up. I've got a great team around me, and they have taken care of me and I feel great.
Q. Did you have a sense when you came out here that you had a match like this in you today?
DANIEL BERGER: I prepared properly and done everything right this week. That was all I can ask for. The rest is just going out there and having fun. Like I was saying earlier, there is no one in this field that you want to play. You have got to really go out there and play well and I did that today.
Q. Solid win out there today for you. What worked so well for you?
DANIEL BERGER: I switched irons this week and went to a blade. I was having trouble keeping the ball down in the wind. Obviously, it was windy today and I didn't have trouble. It was a really good adjustment. And the Callaway guys got me really dialed in, so that was a big difference for me.
Q. What was the difference other than the blade?
DANIEL BERGER: I don't know the technical reasons why. All I know is every time I hit it, it went up in the air and didn't go as far as I wanted it to go. These ones go up in the air and go as far as I want them to go. So my distance control was good and that was a big key for me today.
Q. Match tomorrow with Phil. Nice rematch from last year?
DANIEL BERGER: Last year, I think I wasn't coming in that well in terms of my play. And this year I didn't play that great coming up to this tournament, but I've done everything in preparation. I feel good. I love competing against the best guys in the world and this is another opportunity for me.
Q. I know you don't play it a lot, but do you enjoy match play?
DANIEL BERGER: I wish we played more match play. There's nothing like it. I look forward to this tournament every year and it's one of my favorites.
