Quick Quotes

Q. 5-under 67 to start the week off. How pleased are you with today's round?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: Yeah, very pleased. I felt like I drove it well, kept it in play. I hit a lot of fairways, which you've got to do out here. The course is pretty long. There's a few short holes but not too many. Yeah, felt like I hit my irons really well, gave myself a lot of looks.

Q. You've played this course before; do you have any memories from that time?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: I mean, there's a few holes I remember, but it was a long time ago when we played it. I actually played quite a few rounds here, but it's changed a lot. It's a lot longer than it used to be, and it looks a lot different. But there's a few holes that are really similar that I remembered.

Q. When was the last time you drove the ball this well do you think?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: I don't know, I've hit my driver nicely, though. Got a new one. Put a new SIM2 in and hitting it straight, so I like that.

Q. Now you said you didn't remember much about this course from back in '07 when you played it, but Webb was talking about you guys were playing a lot of cards that week. Do you remember anything that kind of went on amongst the team members that week?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: I remember we had a good time, but that was a long time ago. It's hard to remember specific details or any ones that I can share.

Q. Are you good at cards?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: I think I can hold my own.

Q. What's your favorite --

DUSTIN JOHNSON: I'm not a professional or anything. But I like to play. I'd play any game.
