Quick Quotes

Q. Tell me a little bit about your round today.

COLLIN MORIKAWA: Not the start I wanted, bogeying every par-3, and I think I had like three three-putts today. It's not acceptable. It's not how you keep yourself in a tournament on a Thursday. You know what, this course is going to play tough, and still got at least tomorrow to just grind it out and see how it goes. Had some stretches of decent golf, I've just got to keep doing that and really not compound the errors.

Q. How do you think that the wind or the delay played a factor in your round today?

COLLIN MORIKAWA: Yeah, it was definitely windier than what we've seen Monday through Wednesday in the prep, so just have to kind of adjust on some tee shots, but for the most part I hit my driver pretty good, I just wasn't hitting it well when the wind was off the right. That's something you just kind of figure out what to do for tomorrow. Tomorrow is a new day, and just kind of go on and take the positives from today.

Q. What does the rest of today and tomorrow look like?

COLLIN MORIKAWA: A lot of rest, a lot of just decompressing, kind of getting away from golf for a little bit and just waking up fresh and feeling ready for tomorrow.
