Quick Quotes

Q. Out early for the morning wave, going low. Tell me about your first round.

MACKENZIE HUGHES: Yeah, it was kind of a day that slowly built up. I hit some nice shots early, didn't pay them off, and then yeah, was kind of flat through the middle and made one on 3 and then kind of got a little run going. It was nice to finish with a little flurry there at the end and kind of get myself up there.

Q. Any shots stick out in particular stick out from your round?

MACKENZIE HUGHES: Yeah, I hit a nice approach into 5, the par-5, put it on the back fringe, had like 30 feet for eagle and was able to make that. That was kind of a bit of a jump start for me there.

Q. Conditions been kind of wet and supposed to be wet throughout the week. What's kind of the mindset when they could be predicting some weather?

MACKENZIE HUGHES: Yeah, a lot of the same that I was doing today. Yeah, if it stays kind of soft and the wind is manageable, the scores will continue to be low. It's kind of one of those ones, this week you know gas is on the right, and we're not touching the brakes. Yeah, it looks wet, but the game plan will be the same.
