Quick Quotes


Q. How would you characterize your first round out here?

TOM KIM: It was nice. Started a little slow, but I turned it around and definitely a good way to start the year.

Q. You said this is your first trip to Hawaii?

TOM KIM: Correct.

Q. You said you haven't really done anything fun yet?

TOM KIM: Not much. I don't have my family with me. It's just me and my trainer. So I haven't done anything crazy. But just been kind of golf and just kind of resting back at the hotel.

Q. Feel any different playing competitive golf in Nike gear?

TOM KIM: (Laughing.) I try not to think about it. It's just the clothes fit great and it's a great new look. So I'm confident and kind of proud to kind of wear the logo.

Q. It looks cool.

TOM KIM: Thanks.

Q. You went over to Jordan's house for Christmas. How has that relationship kind of come about a little bit? I know obviously the Dallas connection, but anything else?

TOM KIM: Yeah, I mean, I just, the more time I spent with Jordan just we kind of came closer friends. I think we shared a plane back from Hero back to Dallas, so I took the Jordan air (laughing.)

But yeah, no, he was really nice enough to invite me for Christmas. My family wasn't home and I was kind of by myself. So I got to spend some time with the Spieths and kind of babysit Sammy, which was really cool. But, yeah, it's been amazing to kind of build a friendship and it was really cool to play with him today.

Q. What are you like as a babysitter?

TOM KIM: Oh, my God, Sammy's amazing. He's the most wonderful little boy I think I've ever met. He's just absolutely amazing. So definitely I've seen a lot of kids, but he's, he definitely makes it a lot easier.

Q. Jordan says you guys get along because you're so close in age.

TOM KIM: Yeah, a hundred percent. A hundred percent. We are. I like to think of it that way, for sure.

Q. What club did you hit on 6?

TOM KIM: I hit a 53. It was just a really good number. I think I had 107 to 109. Great yardage. Joe said just slightly left of the hole. I wanted to go right at it. It was like literally an inch away from the hole left. So it was a good call from Joe.
