Q. Just the way it looks condition-wise, it is a better course than it was a year ago?
DAVID GOSSETT: I think is. I think the course is maturing and growing with another year under its belt. It's a new golf course and I think the superintendents have done a good job as more grass has been able to grow in over the last 24 months, since the first tournament. I know the first -- I don't -- they talked about kind of thin greens; not much grass on them, but last year I was you know, they were all pleased to see they had plenty of grass and this year I think the greens are even better. I feel like the course is in great shape. I mean all that John Deere equipment, (laughter) got to be pretty good, right.
Q. Are the greens running faster?
DAVID GOSSETT: They are, I feel like they are. I feel like they are firmer and faster. I do. I noticed on Tuesday straightaway, talked to Matt even on the putting green felt like they were a little bit faster.
Q. Is that going to equate to lower scores, more birdies and lower scores?
DAVID GOSSETT: Hard to say really. I read in the paper they were trying to set it up a little tougher with some thicker rougher and little tighter off the tee. I didn't notice any more rough, but it's really hard to say. There's going to be plenty of birdies as you have seen out there today, 8-under, 6-unders, 5-unders, there's plenty of birdie opportunity out there. The greens aren't really firm, so I mean -- they are not rock hard, I guess, they are firm compared-- maybe compared to last year, or most places. For the public they are firm, I will say, but these guys are pretty good. The course gives you several holes where hitting 8-iron or less in, several holes where I hit wedges.
