ROCHESTER, NEW YORK
Q. Pretty steady round, a lot of pars?
RYAN MOORE: Yeah, I controlled the ball well around the golf course and when I did miss it, I missed in places where I had reasonable shots at least. You can definitely put it in the wrong place here real quick, and I avoided those places for the most part until No.9, I kind of left a pretty tough third shot there.
But fortunately escaped only dropping one shot. Under par in the first round of a major is a good thing. It's a tough golf hole, because you've got to put it in the right place off the tee, and if you pull it a little bit it goes in the right‑hand rough you can't get any height on it going to the green. If you push it right, then you're chipping out. It's a really good, tough hole and I unfortunately just pulled it just a bit and barely snuck it into the second cut of rough where I just couldn't quite get the club on it. Overall, I really hit the ball really well today and made the putts I kind of should have.
Q. The delay, no big deal for you?
RYAN MOORE: Didn't bother me too much. I came right out and hit some good shots right away. That's all you hope for on a delay like that. If you're playing pretty well, you hope to come out and hit a good shot or two early on; if not, maybe in a bad little funk. But I hit some good shots right away and had birdie chances and converted on my second hole and kind of kept going.
