MIAMI, FLORIDA
LUKE DONALD: Well, obviously Rory has been playing great and Lee has, too. Both of them played extremely well last week. But you know, personally, I played pretty solid today, just one little mistake really on 18. Just a beast of a hole today. I had 227 yards into that and still needed to hit 3‑wood and just pulled it a touch. But pretty happy with the way I played, five birdies out there, and it was tricky.
Q. Talking about the 18th, I think I heard Paul Casey putting forward this theory that they should change the par of 18 every day depending on the conditions.
LUKE DONALD: Well, I hit 3‑wood into 18, par 4, and 7‑iron into the first which is a par 5. So, obviously when you get this sort of east, southeast wind, it just plays very tough. It's been a long hole.
Q. And in a week like this when conditions could be like this over the four days, how important was it to have a good, solid start?
LUKE DONALD: More for me personally. I've struggled a little bit getting off to quick starts, and it was nice to throw in a solid round. I was really pleased with my putting. I holed some good putts today and that's always the key for me, if I can start rolling in the putts, then the rest is easy.
Q. Too busy fighting the conditions today to have any chat?
LUKE DONALD: Oh, we chatted a lot. We are all friendly guys and we get along well with each other. So it was very relaxed out there.
