Tiger Woods

Quick Quotes

Q. My understanding is that this was the second time in your career that you opened with a birdie on 1 and followed it up with a par. Did that get you settled?

TIGER WOODS: I don't remember the other time, to be honest with you. Yeah, I hit a nice 3-wood off of 1, hit a nice little 8-iron in there about 10, 12 feet and made the putt. Then quickly hit the next one almost in a hazard, played lefty, got out there, and boy, I hit a nice pitch from over the green. That was nice.

Q. How were the conditions out there? Can you talk a little bit about it?

TIGER WOODS: The wind was all over the place. It was one of the most tricky days that I've ever been a part of. It was hard to get a beat not only on what direction it was going, but the intensity, and it kept switching all over the place, and then you had to -- the timing was affecting putts on the greens. It was a very difficult day.

Q. How do you feel about starting tomorrow on 14?

TIGER WOODS: Well, it was nice to finish up 13. We're going to warm up and just kind of head down there and start our round, and I think the flow would be pretty much almost like between 20 and 30 minutes in between rounds, so it'll be a natural flow from the finish of the first round and continuation of the second.

Q. Body, how is it feeling?

TIGER WOODS: It's there. The body is okay. We've got some work to do yet tonight.
