Marc Leishman

Quick Quotes

Q. Day one at the Masters, what was it like at the end of the day?

MARC LEISHMAN: It was definitely there for the taking. It was gettable. Greens after the rain last night were not quite what we were used to. I didn't quite adjust to it. I felt like I hit it well enough to shoot a really good score. Didn't shoot a bad score, but just felt like I had a lot of parts that I could have made that I didn't, so that was disappointing in that respect. But then to make the putt on 17 and 18, those two good par putts, it will make dinner taste a little better tonight.

Q. Golf is a little bit like that. You've grinded it out through there, and making those two putts, it just makes you feel better. You are looking forward to tomorrow, of course.

MARC LEISHMAN: Yeah, looking forward to tomorrow. Got a morning tee time. Looks like the wind is going to be up, so I think experience will play a pretty big part tomorrow, and I have plenty of that around here, and playing in the wind as well.

I mean, even though it wasn't the day I was after today, I'm upbeat about tomorrow and the rest of the week, so looking forward to it. We'll try and rest up tonight and be ready to go tomorrow morning.

Q. You have to play with the kids, buy them some ice cream, and get ready for tomorrow.

MARC LEISHMAN: Might even sneak in a beer.
