MASTERS TOURNAMENTApril 9, 2015Russell HenleyAUGUSTA, GEORGIA RUSSELL HENLEY: I enjoyed the day. I didn't put a lot of pressure on myself to do anything crazy, I just tried to pick good targets and trust that I was hitting the right club and just accept whatever happened. Q. What did you learn from last year going into this year? RUSSELL HENLEY: Well, I learned a lot my first year. But last year I played really well the first two days and just kind of got it‑‑ not awful on the weekend, but finished around 30th. I think all the times I've played it, combined, have helped me realize like where I can and can't hit it. I know that seems like a cliché answer. But it's so important to hit it in the right spots. I feel like I can give myself a chance to save par if I know that. Almost the more you play the comfortable you are with it, it doesn't mean there's still not pressure and still not a major, and still not hard. Q. Talk about the first round and your nerves. RUSSELL HENLEY: Yeah, this year the nerves were not as bad as the first two years, I don't know why. I just felt a little more comfortable. Definitely had some nerves, but I was actually able to feel like I was in control of my body, when in the past I felt like everything was just flying around crazy. So I felt a lot more comfortable today than I have in the past. And just tried to keep a good attitude. Q. Is this the round you were hoping for in terms of your expectations? RUSSELL HENLEY: I definitely wasn't expecting to shoot any particular round. I was trying not to. I think anytime you can shoot under par out here it's a good score, it means you're doing a lot of things right. So I have a lot of confidence from last week. I hit the ball really well last week and it showed up on the stats. And I think when I struggle with my ball‑striking ‑‑ hopefully it won't be in the future. I just took confidence from last week and rolled with it. Q.  (Inaudible.) RUSSELL HENLEY: Yeah, well, it showed progress last fall in the playoffs, started working with him and for a little while there had a couple of things I wanted to change. And once I got comfortable with those I finished second up in Boston, finished 12th Tour Championship, almost won in Hyundai and Maui. I've had a couple of good tournaments since I worked with him and he's helped me tremendously.
