There must have been a mistake on the scoring. HAYDEN WOOD: Yeah, I think the scoring was messed up. We didn't have a scorer until the? The first like six holes. Q. Congratulations. That's better than I thought. Wonderful. HAYDEN WOOD: Thank you. Q. So bogey-free or did you just make a bunch of birdies? HAYDEN WOOD: I made seven birdies and then I bogeyed No. 14, the par-3. But other than that, it was pretty solid. Q. Hit a lot of fairways? HAYDEN WOOD: Yeah, I think I probably hit every -- I hit every fairway but I think No. 1. I went through the fairway. Q. Okay, okay. And so you're basically tied for the lead after the first day. How does that feel? HAYDEN WOOD: It feels good. It's a match play tournament, so, I mean, the tournament starts on Wednesday. To be able to see myself play a round like that today -- I mean, it was windy out there and the greens probably might have been a little -- they were pure, super pure, but got firmer and faster as the day went on. To be able to shoot a score like that gets me going. Q. When did you feel like it was going to be a good one? Was it early? HAYDEN WOOD: I shot 3-under on the front, but it was a lot of -- I had some up and downs and stuff, and then I birdied 10, 11, and 12 and went, All right, this is going to be fun. Then bogeyed 14, which wasn't a big deal. Hit a good shot. Just caught the lip of the bunker and came down; made bogey. Then I birdied 17. But I made a nice putt on 18. That was nice. I had a pretty long putt. I was on the right side of the green and left it probably four feet short, but made it right in the middle on the comebacker, so it was nice.
