Nate Lashley

TPC Deere Run

Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: Nate, off to a great start with the 6-under 65. If we could just get a few comments, highlights about the round from you.

NATE LASHLEY: I putted really well. Made quite a few nice putts. A couple of long putts went in the hole, so that was nice to see because I haven't been putting well.

I've been striking the ball pretty well, but just not making the putts enough to contend each week, so it was really nice to come out and putt well today.

THE MODERATOR: I know this is kind of a cliche question, but do you kind of just stick with what's been working for you? Is there anything you're tweaking in the midst of, or are you just kind of riding this for what it's worth?

NATE LASHLEY: I did notice something in my putting, and I also am trying the counterbalanced putter, which like Wyndham and Rickie are putting so well with.

It seems to be kind of a theme right now. Everybody is kind of trying it. It does feel great.

Hopefully can just continue to putt like this for the next -- well, for a long time.
