Flash Quotes
Q. Tell me about your round today, what was the most frustrating or difficult or what went well today?
RICKIE FOWLER: I mean, I knew it was going to be tough out there. Started to drive it a little bit better on the back nine, but didn't hit as many fairways as I would have liked to, which then led to not hitting very many greens.
If you hit fairways and greens out here, it's a lot easier. Up until one point, I think I had about four holes left, and I had only hit five greens.
You have to rely on short game a lot. I don't care how good you hit it, you're going to end up missing fairways and greens, and so the short game and putter luckily helped me a little bit today.
I didn't make many putts when I actually did hit greens, but I didn't hit quite that many greens.
Q. The wind factor, it's going to change everything here; how much does it get to you mentally?
RICKIE FOWLER: Yeah, it really just depends where you're at, whether you can kind of play aggressive or if you have to play full defense and just try and be in a decent position where you may be able to get the ball up-and-down.
Yeah, tomorrow morning it's supposed to blow even harder, and yeah, that just makes it tough. You know it's hard going in, so you kind of just -- biggest thing you just focus on trying to execute each shot. You're not going to do it perfect, so hit it, find it and keep going.
