RBC HERITAGE


April 15, 2018


Satoshi Kodaira


Hilton Head, South Carolina

Q. What a wonderful round of golf today. Right now you are in the clubhouse. How was this golf course for you, do you feel really comfortable here?
SATOSHI KODAIRA: Yes, this course is very similar to courses in Japan. And during the practice round I felt very comfortable playing this course. So, yes, it fit me very well.

Q. You had a great start, three birdies and then a little bit of a strum Bell there at No. 16 -- No. 17, that's a very difficult hole?
SATOSHI KODAIRA: Yes, the second shot was difficult there. But I was able to overcome that.

Q. Right now you are eligible to play next week in the Valero Texas Open in San Antonio, are you going to play?
SATOSHI KODAIRA: Yes.

Q. You have in the made that many starts on the PGA Tour. Does today's performance give you confidence that you belong here?
SATOSHI KODAIRA: Yes, I've been playing very well since the Masters last week. And this result gives me a lot of confidence.

Q. I overheard you tell television that when you got here you felt very comfortable at Harbour Town. What made you comfortable?
SATOSHI KODAIRA: We had a lot of birdie chances and a lot of great shots. Why I'm comfortable here is this course is very similar to the courses in Japan, a little bit shorter and a shaped course. I felt very comfortable in the practice rounds.

Q. Have you had any conversations with Hideki Matsuyama about playing here on Tour on a regular basis?
SATOSHI KODAIRA: I've not talked to Hideki. But I've been watching him on TV and it gives me confidence and inspiration to play on the PGA Tour.
