Quick Quotes

Q. Can you recap your round for me?

DENNY MCCARTHY: It was ugly. (Laughing.) I played very poorly very well. I think I hit two greens on the front, maybe three, and I shot even par.

Yeah, it was just a really ugly round of golf. It was kind of tough. Just rain on and off. Took the rain stuff off, put it back on. It was a grind.

Then finally some weather opened up and finally it was pretty, it was manageable on the back nine. Started to hit some more quality shots. My bunker game, short game around the front really helped me today. Even a couple saves on the back. Chipped in from just off the green.

So, like I said, it wasn't pretty at all. Going to go try and figure it out on the range now. But played very poorly very well.

Q. Speaking of those changing conditions and heading into tomorrow it's more rain and stuff. Change your game plan?

DENNY MCCARTHY: No, I mean, if it's going to be like that tomorrow -- I mean, today was a good taste of it. So it was a good, today was good preparation for -- this kind of felt like a day at TPC Potomac Wells Fargo last year where we had to battle it out on the weekend in this kind of weather.

So it's not that much fun to play in this, but I'm prepared for it. So Monterey, it's a good test of golf. Obviously there's some scorable holes out there. If you get some nasty weather you kind of just got to withstand that. When you get some opportunities and if the weather opens up, then those are your chances to score.
