WGC DELL TECHNOLOGIES MATCH PLAYMarch 22, 2017Thomas PietersAustin, Texas Q. Start with some comments. You were out in the wind today, nice to get off to a good start? THOMAS PIETERS: Yeah, the front nine was really good. The back nine we didn't play very well. We gave each other some holes. He gave me a couple more than I gave him, so it worked out for me. But I've got to work on putting for tomorrow. Q. How important is it to get a win that first day? THOMAS PIETERS: Yeah, it was just weird, because you don't want to get in a position where you need to hope for a tie from the other match. So I think you need to win all three. And getting off to a good start is nice. And I just need to win my next two. Q. Even though the golf wasn't great, was it good to get on a roll there in the middle of the front nine? THOMAS PIETERS: Yeah, it's nice to have a two or three shot -- I missed a one or two footer on 13. And that just hurts the confidence. You're back to 2-up and four or five to play, anything can happen. And he gave me a hole, so it was back and forth on the back nine giving holes. Q. On 7 you hit that shot to about a foot and then he makes that 30, 35-footer, how much do you feel that? THOMAS PIETERS: I don't know. I told my caddie he was going to make that, I had a feeling. That just happens sometimes in match play. I don't know, I just tried to make as many birdies as I can. It's quite simple in match play. Q. You had momentum coming into match play with the Ryder Cup? THOMAS PIETERS: Yeah, Ryder Cup was good, obviously. And I've always loved match play. I was good at match play in college. I can't remember losing a lot of matches. I don't know, you get on that tee and you need to beat that one guy. Even if you have a bad day and he has a worse day than you, so be it. You don't need to shoot 7- or 8-under each time, you just need to shoot one better. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
