Quick Quotes

Q. How was the course set up today? How was the dynamic on the course?

CHRISTIAAN BEZUIDENHOUT: Yeah, it was good. Definitely firmed up over the last three weeks since we last been here. Nice group with Mack, Tyler, and Si Woo today. Bit of a money game going today. Yeah, was good to get the week started in a positive way.

Get a little bit of pressure going with the match and stuff, so, yeah.

Q. Were you paired with any of those guys in 2022?

CHRISTIAAN BEZUIDENHOUT: No. No. So I haven't been paired with them two years ago, but we're not sure how our pairings are going to look come Thursday either.

But, yeah, it's a fun group to be in. All these guys in the team, it will be fun to play with any of them.

Q. How do you pair with those guys in general? Do you like the dynamic and how do your games suit each other?

CHRISTIAAN BEZUIDENHOUT: Yeah, definitely all three of those guys hit the ball a little bit further than me. Most of the time I'm the straightest one in the Four-Ball, but not as long.

So, yeah, in the Four-Ball, the foursomes match, any of us would match up well with them hitting it a little bit further than me and they can go for par-5s or drivable par-4s where I lay it up.

But, yeah, any of us can be a good match.

Q. What's going on with the mustache?

CHRISTIAAN BEZUIDENHOUT: No, just one of those weeks. Yeah, I was just lazy to shave it on Monday, so I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it on for the week. We'll see. (Smiling.)

Q. Be there for team photos tomorrow?

CHRISTIAAN BEZUIDENHOUT: Should be there for the team photos still. It might be shaved off on Wednesday night.

Q. Maybe you need it.

CHRISTIAAN BEZUIDENHOUT: Yeah, I mean, I have played well in previous tournaments with a mustache, so I haven't decided yet if I'm going to keep it or not.

Q. Are you superstitious?

CHRISTIAAN BEZUIDENHOUT: On some things, yes, but not on mustache. Doesn't matter if it's on or off. But on certain things I am superstitious. Not on this.

Q. What are you superstitious about in golf?

CHRISTIAAN BEZUIDENHOUT: Golf-wise I only play with white tees, only use a certain marker. I use a fresh glove every round. Yeah, probably the three biggest ones I would say.

Q. (Indiscernible.)

CHRISTIAAN BEZUIDENHOUT: Yeah, maybe a different story, but, yeah.
