Troy how’s it feel to be back in this place once again uh where you w and 18 yeah it’s fantastic to to come back I mean I really haven’t been here since 19 so it’s been it’s been a while since I’ve seen the place uh it’s fantastic you know it bring back uh brings back a lot of really good memories and uh we got on a nice little run it was kind of reminiscent of the first round back in 18 and then uh kind of sputtered coming home but uh no overall solid day but you know you have to go low here and you did that yeah I mean you have to make birdies I mean the two years I played here we played it very soft so watching these Fairways bounce like they are right now is something I haven’t seen out here so that’s an adjustment that we had to make during the round and we’ll have to do that the rest of the week but uh yeah know I know you have to make birdies I mean everybody’s going to make them so you just got to try to make more than everybody else and you kind of touched on it but the ball is it rolling a little further than you were even used to yeah no and then you know we’ll get it some some good heat in the afternoon here and the the balls go further in the air and this course will play really short and you got to play it from the Fairway to attack the pins around here you know the greens are fairly tricky out here and you got to get in the right right quadrants and that’s hard to do out of the rough so uh you got to find Fairways Troy just talk a little bit about the stretch there six birdies U out of eight holes there beginning on eight through 15 yeah I got the ball in play in the Fairway for a change I didn’t do that the first uh seven holes and um as a result didn’t have very many birdie looks and then you know I think we had three Eagle putts on uh what are they now 8 uh 11 and 15 I’m used to playing the the nines reversed so I got to think about the other way uh but yeah to to be able to hit those in two and have eagle putts and tap in birdies and then you know throw a couple nice shots in and and make a putt on uh what was it over there 14 uh it was it was it was a nice little stretch all right thanks guys apprciate
