THE GREENBRIER CLASSICJuly 28, 2011Brendon de JongeWHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, WEST VIRGINIA Q. A solid 66 here in the first round. Great playing. A good up and down on the last hole to save that round, too? BRENDON DE JONGE: Yeah. (Indiscernible.) Q. Did that just miss the club face? BRENDON DE JONGE: Yeah. (Indiscernible.) Q. Tell me what you're doing good. What's the best part of your game right now? BRENDON DE JONGE: You know, it was solid. Pretty much all around solid play. I made a couple key putts early, which was nice. Q. How were the greens rolling in the afternoon? BRENDON DE JONGE: Um, it was still pretty good. Still pretty firm. They're rolling pretty good. Q. To be as new as they are, everybody seems impressed. BRENDON DE JONGE: Yeah, yeah, definitely. I mean, you can see they're new greens, but they've got a good surface. Q. You're a big fisherman, I know that. I saw you looking in those streams throughout the day. Were you doing a little trout scouting? BRENDON DE JONGE: Yeah, when I started sweating over there a little bit I (indiscernible) in the water. Yeah, we saw a couple nice ones down there. Yeah, I was, like I said, pretty solid all round. Made a couple key putts early on, which was nice, a nice way to get the round going. Q. As hot as you were last year, how does it feel to come back basically just as hot and you shoot a 66? BRENDON DE JONGE: Yeah, it's nice to get off to a good start, nice to come back to a place where you have a lot of good memories and a lot of good crowd support. So it's been good. Q. T3 last year. Do you think you can do better this year? BRENDON DE JONGE: I would like to, but we'll see what happens. Q. You got started really hot and then just faded a way. Is it because the greens got firmer as the round went on? BRENDON DE JONGE: Ah, no, I wouldn't say the greens got firmer. I think that back nine is a little bit tougher, so I'll take even par back there. Q. Can you talk to me a little bit about the greens and what shape they're in. BRENDON DE JONGE: Yeah, no, they're in great shape. They're obviously very, very firm still being as new as they are. So it's difficult to put the ball close to the hole and there are a couple tough pins out there. Q. How different is it playing this year versus last year? BRENDON DE JONGE: It's night and day. Last year was all target golf. The greens were really soft and we could take aim. This year you got to think your way around a little bit. Q. You like this better this way? BRENDON DE JONGE: Yeah, definitely as far as a challenge it's definitely much better. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
