THE GREENBRIER CLASSICJuly 6, 2017Danny LeeWhite Sulphur Springs, West Virginia Q. 6-under 64 today. Talk about your day, what went well? DANNY LEE: Everything, I think. Off the tee was good. Iron games were strong out there. Left couple birdie chances out there but still made a lot of good putts. It was a good start. Q. Coming in as defending champion, how much of a confidence boost does that give you? DANNY LEE: I mean, I done it once before here, so that gets me a lot of good confidence for next time we play here. But I been playing some good golf last couple months. It's that time of year I need to play good to get into Presidents Cup and stuff. It means a lot; 6-under is a very good start for me. Q. What was it like playing with Phil and Bubba today? DANNY LEE: It was a very crowded round and we had some couple of issues on the hole -- between hole 11 and 12, I think. That was very unfortunate that happened, but hopefully they're okay. But other than that, was very enjoyable round. Q. Was the crowd pretty supportive for you today? DANNY LEE: Yeah. There was quite a few fans out there for me. Not as much as Bubba or Phil Mickelson, but I understand that. A lot of fans out here for me this week. Q. You've had good memories here good couple years ago. What triggered your round today? DANNY LEE: Not sure. Just kept my head down. Just try to play my game, because I was playing with Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson. That was a very crowded round. I was just doing my best focusing on my game, and it worked well. I been playing some great golf last couple of months, and I'm happy to -- I'm happy that it showed a good result on the first round of my first defending PGA TOUR. It was a good day. Q. Special memories for you here obviously with what happened two years ago. DANNY LEE: Yeah, very special memory. I capture my first PGA TOUR event here. I would love to repeat it again. I think I'm at the right place for that right now. Q. How was it playing with Bubba and Phil? They had a pretty wild round. You seemed a whole lot steadier out there. DANNY LEE: Yeah, they hit it long and they don't like to hit it straight, I know that. It's totally different than my game. Like I said before, I just kept my head down, try to really focus on my game, and try not to play like them. I don't have that 320 carry in my body, so I just try to hit 295 straight and try to make it happen from there. Q. Scary when lefty hit the fan, wasn't it? DANNY LEE: Yeah, that was very unfortunate that happened. I saw him. He was struggling a little bit. Hopefully he's okay. It happens out here. I guess got a little unlucky there. Q. How much has the course changed from two years ago? DANNY LEE: A little bit. Just greens are a little bit flatter. If you happen to miss a green it's a very tough up and down. Phil just made it look easy out there, but it's really not that easy out there when you miss a green. It's understandable because it's Phil Mickelson, but I'm just planning on try to hit many fairways as I can and many greens as I can and see what happens. Q. How different is the rough and the bunkers on this course now? DANNY LEE: Some of the longer shots I think you still have a chance for, but just around the greens it's such a strong grass I don't know how it's going to come out. So I better hit it straight, I guess. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
