Quick Quotes

Q. Harry, 4-under par today. Just get your thoughts on the round.

HARRY HALL: Played very solid. Yeah, didn't do anything wrong. Drove it nice and straight, which you have to on this golf course because the rough is up.

Hit my irons really well and then putted really good.

Q. First time playing this golf course this week. First time in the Sony Open.

HARRY HALL: Yeah.

Q. Do you like this course, the setup?

HARRY HALL: It's playing firm and fast which I'm used to. Just agreeing up on links golf. You know, I think chipping on the greens they're quite reactive, but you still have to think what side of the hole you're going to miss it on, and hit it in the fairways are important, otherwise you're hitting out of this bermuda and it's not spinning too much and it's just judging some fliers out of the rough.

I didn't do much of that today.

Q. I think the last time we saw you was the RSM Classic in November. How do you feel about your game coming into this week?

HARRY HALL: Well, tell you the truth, after the RSM I fell over and fractured my wrist. First time I swung a club was about a week and a half ago. I wasn't sure if I was going to play the Sony or not. It felt fine and I'm swinging it nice and smooth and probably hitting it a lot straighter, hitting it nice and better with good tempo.

So, yeah, I was kind of coming in fresh. Five weeks off not swinging the golf club was probably a good thing mentally. Thought really well today and didn't make too many mistakes.

Q. Did you have to do anything special for you rehab?

HARRY HALL: Just rest it, yeah. It was a bone bruise really, which is like nearly a fracture. Just had to let it heal for five weeks and then I was go to go.

Q. Which one was it? The left one?

HARRY HALL: The right one.

Q. Were you able to do one-handed putts or chips or anything?

HARRY HALL: I was swinging with just one hand, just my left hand. Did that a few times. But, yeah, went back to England and didn't take my golf clubs and just saw family and friends and took it easy.
