Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Alexa after the first round of the FM Championship. Just talk about starting here today, first tournament in Boston. What were the vibes?

ALEXA PANO: Yeah, it was definitely pretty cool on the first tee getting announced and having everyone there. It was kind of a challenging day on the course. The course is playing really tough.

I didn't hit every shot how I wanted to, but that's golf. I kind of grinded it out today, so I was happy with that.

Q. What specifically about the course stuck out to you today?

ALEXA PANO: Yeah, the greens are getting really firm and they had some brutal pin positions, and so there were a lot the shots where you're just trying to keep it on the green.

Yeah, it makes it pretty tough. I don't think they're going to get any softer throughout the week. It's a good challenge though.

Q. Earlier tee time tomorrow; maybe a few more fans to watch your round. What are you hoping for?

ALEXA PANO: Yeah, it's been pretty great. I know I have some more friends and family coming out tomorrow and hopefully over the weekend. It's pretty special. I don't normally have this many people I know coming out and following me, so it's pretty cool.
