Quick Quotes

Q. Great start. 5-under, 66. Birdies on five of your last six holes. Out here you were talking about just how good and positive you were feeling about the game and obviously kind of it rang through today?

ADAM HADWIN: Yeah, and I played quite well those first 12 holes, 13 holes. I just didn't get anything to drop.

I had some looks, again a lot of fairways, a lot of greens, giving myself a lot of chances. Just kind of burning edges. It's kind of been like that for a couple weeks now, so it was nice to see a couple drop at the end, 16, 17, some longer putts, 16's always a nice one to birdie to make a longer putt for them. So, yeah, just a good solid round of golf.

Q. When this event comes up with you being local here, how amped up how excited do you get, combine that with the crowds, is there, do you have to kind of pace yourself?

ADAM HADWIN: A little bit for sure. Especially when it heats up like it does. It's so dry here and when temperatures starts getting above 75, 80 degrees you can dry out pretty quick and those nerves and everything.

So, yeah, just stay patient, stay slow, try and bring that heart rate down, it's easy to climb there on those last three, four holes, but -- and just kind of enjoy it. It's nice to be sleeping in your own bed, it's very comfortable and easy, I've played this course hundreds of times, just not in these conditions. It always gets a little bit faster for the tournament. But it's a lot of fun.
