All right six under today really good um start to the tournament can you talk us through the highlights for you yeah um I think uh the swing I made on 11 it was my second hole of the day I got a birdie on 10 but it is part five playing

A little easier swing I made on 11 it’s usually a tougher hole tough front pin uh hit a really good eight iron in there and I thought that kind of started kind of you know I’ve been hitting it well but making that swing there I was like

Okay I still got it um I can keep it going from there and then kind of got lucky got away with one on 15 uh didn’t make my best swing but sort of kind of missed it right at the Hole uh knocked it real close there at 15 which is

Another tough hole and then uh made an eagle over on three after the turn hadit a really really good five iron in there maybe I know 7even feet or so um to set up that eagle so uh some pretty low numbers for what we’re used to at this course was it

Just the pristine conditions or what was it yeah yeah I mean the conditions of the course are about the same I mean the course the greens are always running really nice uh Fairways are always you know perfect around here it’s just there’s no wind and that’s the biggest

Defense I mean there’s water around but the water’s you know really shown off because the wind causes some funny ones so uh I would say no wind here is definitely you’re going to see some of those lower scores um but it looks like tomorrow the course is going to figure

That one out and it’s not going to be so easy is it nice having that first round in the books when the conditions are that way yeah it’s it is very hard to make birdies out here when it’s wind so I kind of knew going into today today

Was going to be the one day where it wasn’t that windy and you know this is your chance to get some birdies um get them get them early and you know the rest of the week might be a little bit more of a par Fest how much of today is

Um you know obviously trying to get the best score you can but also taking notes in your in your brain like it’s not going to be like this necessarily tomorrow win wise and sort of have a game plan for each you know what I mean yes but today was the day that felt

Weird though because I’ve always played this course with wind so tomorrow when I show up it’ll be back to what I’m used to whereas you know today was kind of the odd one where it’s like wait I can actually like fire at that pin or I have

Way less Club into this part five than it would I would usually have um so I I thought today was kind of you know take it for what it is like I’m probably going to be in some spots I’m not used to on some holes not necessarily bad

Spots but you know usually have different clubs and stuff and um with with the less wind you kind of had to take advantage of lower numbers that were out there um we know the bear track can be a difficult stretch of holes but 5 six and seven on the front also plays

Pretty difficult can you just speak to how that played today yeah I’ve always ever since like the first time I got here 5 six and seven is every good as difficult if not more difficult depending on when Direction uh than 15 16 17 um anytime you’re playing both of

Those three whole stretches even par you’re very happy um even if you give up one it’s not too bad you just can’t take the big number numbers um five usually that front pin’s a lot more difficult because we get catch a wind off the left

Today it’s not so bad but six is still a beast and Seven’s like 230 plus today so uh yeah it’s the those middle holes on both sides you really if you can just kind of hang on there are a few other opportunities out there what would you

Nickname that stretch of holes if 15 16 17 is the bear trap what’s 567 uh hang on please um make par I don’t know you you you talked about kind of turning your season around a little bit after the slow start what what kind of specifically even if it was a small

Thing did did you kind of find during the weeks between farmers and Phoenix I think I think bottom line I was really tired coming out of the Fall I I didn’t play well in the fall which led to a super stressful fall since I ended up

Finishing like 122 123 and I was flat out like I was kind of burned out like December didn’t really touch a club at all so honestly I probably came into Sony a little bit under prepared um didn’t play well at Sony didn’t really play well at MX but I was

Working on I was I was getting back into it and um working on some things and then Tor I think was the first week I missed the cut there but really the round I played on Friday well I guess it’s Thursday because it’s Wednesday Thursday but uh the second round I

Played there at the South course was really really quality golf uh I shot under like one under there hit a lot of really good shots it could have been four or five if a couple other things went well um I felt like I was chipping

It well driving it well doing a lot of good things and so I knew that I could take some good positives from that rolled that into my next week at home I had an off week and puts more good work in then and then waste management is

Kind of really where I rolled in was uh was feeling really good with the game is your trainer your father-in-law also yeah yeah Randy Myers yeah so is that how you met your wife no no we met I had no idea who he was we met in college it

Just kind of worked out that way I you know I didn’t I didn’t touch a weight until I was I didn’t get in the gym do anything really until pretty much kind of after college I guess starting in college but yeah I had no idea who he

Was what what was his initial assessment of your Fitness when when you guys first started CU well Randy he’ll never tell you that you suck but it was probably not good I mean he’s you know he’ll sugarcoated I’m sure but it was it was not good I had no I’m not that flexible

Now either but I had no flexibility back then my back swing was about here I mean it’s only about here now but it was about there it was it was not good is it kind of a cool kind of unique wrinkle to your story that you know as you progress

On the PTA tour like kind of family has a has a role in it I mean yeah yeah I yeah because then you know when I’m out here I have support every week I mean I got my wife here this week I got my mom

Here this week so yeah it is nice to have that support from them and you know see familiar faces like that that are in your corner every week so yeah I do think it helps awesome thanks adre
