Quick Quotes

Q. Good round of golf, ball striking looked really solid out there, which it has to be to give yourself a lot of birdie opportunities which you did today.

TALOR GOOCH: Yeah, it was solid. I think I made about a 25-footer on my third or fourth hole and then I chipped in on the 9th hole. But other than that all the birdie and everything was pretty close to the hole, so I made it easy on myself today for shooting 64.

Q. Hole-out eagles are pretty nice to have. What did that do in terms of momentum, because you get to the back and there's a stretch on the back where you can really take it deep on this golf course, how much of a springboard was that?

TALOR GOOCH: Just knowing the history of the scores here if you get low, when you get to the par-5s you feel like you got to take advantage of them. So that hole-out kind of spring boarded my back nine and I took advantage of those scoring holes on the back. So it was a good day.

Q. When you miss the greens around here, they're so pure, but it's a grass transition, how do you deal with that when it's Bermuda to bent like that?

TALOR GOOCH: Yeah, it's nice for me growing up in Oklahoma it was the same thing, so it's comfortable for me, I've grown up on it, so for me it's not a new world, so it's comfortable for me.

Q. Best thing you take away from today into tomorrow?

TALOR GOOCH: Let's just go try to do it again. Hit a bunch of fairways, hit a bunch of greens, make it easy. Keep the train rolling. I wish I could go play again right now.
