Quick Quotes

Q. Just take us through your day out there today.

COLLIN MORIKAWA: Obviously just a quick practice, quick nine, get some rest. This week comes by quick. There's a lot going on. So you want to be ready as much as you can Thursday. With an early tee time, just honestly get some sleep and wake up and be ready and fresh.

Q. I know last year this question has probably been asked you a lot this week, but last year you got to play in the final group alongside Scottie on Sunday, didn't have the round you would like of course. But do you feel pressure coming into this year's Masters tournament?

COLLIN MORIKAWA: No, all the pressure is on myself and what I want to accomplish obviously.

You've got to be in those situations. I love being in those. It wasn't like it was my first time. Sometimes you've got to hit better shots. I wasn't able to execute those last year. Game feels good, and we've got a game plan going forward for the next few days.

Q. You're one of the purest ball strikers on TOUR. How does it feel to come out here knowing the course that requires such precision and that's part of your game?

COLLIN MORIKAWA: Sometimes you feel good going into a game, and sometimes you don't. This week I feel good about my game. My game has been pretty solid throughout the year.

It's good going into your first major this year knowing where your game's at. It doesn't mean you're going to play well, but it gives you the confidence to go out and play a little more free.

Q. Two legs down on the career grand slam. Could get a third here this weekend. What is it going to take to do that?

COLLIN MORIKAWA: All around good golf. It's very cliche to say, but out here you've got to play really good golf from tee to green. Obviously got to have some putts go your way.
