NORTON, MASSACHUSETTS
Q.  Is it fair to ask how many calls you got last night?
LUKE DONALD: It's the first time you've wanted to interview me after shooting 1‑under. Yeah, quite a few. I made a mistake, unfortunately. I made an error. I sent a message that was not meant to go out on Twitter, and I take full responsibility. I realized it immediately, tried to delete it and tried to move on. Unfortunately it got caught up there, and such is life. I didn't mean to put it out there, and I apologize to anyone I offended, especially Gil Hanse.
Q. It was supposed to be a direct message?
LUKE DONALD: It was, yeah.
Q. Back to the original question, how many phone calls did you get?
LUKE DONALD: I shut my phone off, actually. It was ringing pretty hard. Probably a new number is in store for me. That's what I deserve.
Q. Were strangers calling you?
LUKE DONALD: I got plenty of voicemails, yeah.
Q. Does this limit your Twitter going forward?
LUKE DONALD: Well, it's certainly a powerful tool, and you've got to be very aware of it. There's a certain addiction to Twitter. It's that constant update that everyone enjoys. But probably wise if I took a little bit of a hiatus maybe.
Q. Gil is here this week. Have you talked to him?
LUKE DONALD: I have not, but if I see him, I'll certainly go up to him and say I'm sorry. It was not meant for public viewing, and I apologize if any language offended him.
Q. Any new thoughts on it now?
LUKE DONALD: I'm still not that keen on it. I think the TOUR have done a great job in terms of making this course a lot better. I just think some of the design in that hole is a little severe. Obviously I was pretty heated, and certainly by the time that message went out, I had calmed down a lot, but it certainly wasn't meant to be public.
Q. How did you actually find out it ended up going out public?
LUKE DONALD: I realized it pretty quickly that I had made a mistake.
