Quick Quotes

Q. That was a spectacular finish to the round. Six birdies in the last seven holes.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: I finished off strong, that's for sure. I needed something good after the way I started. It was fun.

Q. What happened with that double bogey?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: The double bogey on 3, we knew it was playing downwind. My 8-iron I think was a little strong. We just fixed it. When I hit half shots or like a 10:30 shot, it just went down a lot in spin, and I flew it about 10 past the hole and to the left and it hit off a downslope and went all the way past. Dropped it, there was a rock where it went in the sand. I dropped it, it just rolled into a place where there was a rock behind it. Then I hit a wedge shot, came out left, and then I three-putted. And I three-putted 4. So I was off to a hot start.

Q. You were hot after that because of the putting or --

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: No, I hit it to 12 feet on the next hole and I missed the putt. So I thought it was going to be a long day.

Then 6, I made a putt from 15 feet, and that kind of got me going.

7, I hit a great drive, nice wedge up there, made a five-footer there. Okay, I feel a little better.

Left a 20-footer short in the heart on 8.

9, I made a long putt, but I still wasn't comfortable with the putting. It's not launching correctly right now. But it is what it is. I need to work on it.

I just got off to a good run. I like this golf course. If I put myself in the right place in the right position, it's a scorable golf course for me. I just need to make some putts, and I was lucky enough to do that coming in and made a lot.

Q. You always go back to the driving range and work on something --

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Always.

Q. Was there something special or particular that you were trying to work on that you were not happy with?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Just being comfortable setting up to the ball and the shot, setting up to the ball, and knowing where my hands are going to be, start, top and impact, and just being really comfortable with that. I know it's weird to say that but it's in my own internal system that I have where I know where it needs to be in order for it to repeat, repeat, repeat, in any condition. That's my goal is to be a machine out here with long distance.

It was close to a really, really low round. I don't three-putt those two holes, it could have been a 61, close to 59. I'm getting those 59 numbers pretty close.

Q. What's with you and those low numbers? You are always threatening 60.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: It's a lot of prep and a lot of work. It's an accumulation of a lot of hard work over the course of my life. I've got a great system that allows me to be that repeatable and give myself that many chances to go low. I just feel like any golf course I play now, I can execute with the best of them and give myself birdie opportunities no matter the situation.
