I had a bit of a rough start there and made some good par putts on the first two holes,

That little bit of rough, it's rough now. You've got to be careful how the ball comes out there.

It's thick. If you go into the rough, you're going to have a half-a-shot penalty.

If you can hit your 3- and 5-woods with confidence from the fairway, par 5s become birdie opportunities, and 420-yard par 4s are a lot less scary.

I just felt like if I could get through the first six holes, I wanted to get through under par, but my only two birdie holes were two and three. When I get to seven and the pin is down below, that's a birdie hole, and so is eight.

You have to know how to read your lie and take a calculated risk when you hit out of the rough.
