Quick Quotes

Q. Keegan, 7-under, always a nice way to start. How would you characterize your first round?

KEEGAN BRADLEY: Well, I made a nice putt on the first hole and just kept it going. It was really a fun day today playing with Adam. It's always great playing with Adam, but we both were playing really well, hitting good shots, making putts. It was a blast.

Q. Do you kind of find yourself -- you obviously won at Aronimink which isn't far from here. Do you find you always like to play well in these kind of conditions, these kind of golf courses? I know you grew up in the northeast, but other than that is there something else?

KEEGAN BRADLEY: Well, I think any time you play a course where hitting a lot of drivers is going to be good for me, I feel like that's one of the things I do best. I think on this course in particular if you hit the ball in the fairway, there's a lot of opportunities. If you miss the fairway you're kind of scrambling a lot of the holes. I did that today, hit a lot of fairways, and the ones that I missed I was able to manage.

Q. Did you look at what you had to do coming into this week, or do you just think about the golf tournament, or how do you approach it?

KEEGAN BRADLEY: I never look to see what I have to do because whether I play in this tournament or Sony or any tournament, I always want to do the best I can, whether it's 35th instead of 36th or first, whatever it is. I never feel like that helps me, I feel like it hurts me actually. But this is a good start, obviously.

Q. Is it sometimes tough having that mentality of going and playing good golf and hoping that good golf will take care of everything else?

KEEGAN BRADLEY: Yeah. I mean, like I said, I feel like every tournament that I play on this TOUR is a big event. I feel like coming here is no different than any event I play all year. I try to make it that way.

Then come Sunday there's a lot of ramifications for your career, for Atlanta, and I'm proud of the way I played today.

Q. How do you handle something like that? Do you not even make plans, or do you have plans for next week?

KEEGAN BRADLEY: I don't have any plans. My plan is I'm going to go home and see my kids no matter what on Sunday night. I'm going to be home on Sunday night regardless of what happens here, and if I -- I'd love to go to Atlanta. Obviously that's everyone's goal to start the year.

Q. Probably not going to be a real big problem getting it all sorted if you're --

KEEGAN BRADLEY: No, we'll be zipping up to Atlanta on Monday if that's the case, yeah.
