Q. Thanks, Grant. You talked about that lengthy break that Nelly, you had from competition. Welcome back. Welcome back to the Ford Championship where you are defending champion. How would you rate your game after that big break away from competition?

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, not bad. Obviously put in a lot of work, but when you take that much time off and you come back into competition like you're rusty, feels a lot more nerves.

So happy with the way today went. Was a little slower on the front nine but fought back on the back nine. Hopefully can take that momentum into tomorrow as with will.

Q. What kind of adjustments did you have to make today? It was quite difficult out there this afternoon, particularly when the wind started picking up, club, club and a half?

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, it was gusty here and there. I think where you have to adjust the most is the heat. It goes a lot further here. So really trusting your number.

On 10 I thought I hit a perfect shot and I hit it 30 yards too long, so just adjusting to the wind, and especially how far it flies out here, because in the afternoon it gets baked out and gets really firm as well.
