Quick Quotes

Q. A subpar opening round, four birdies, two bogeys. Are you satisfied with the way you played today?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: I think being satisfied is always a bit of a stretch in golf. No, I feel like I did some really good things. I felt like I made a couple mistakes that I shouldn't have, but overall I did some really good stuff out there. Anything under par on this golf course is a decent score.

Q. A significant equipment change. For the first time in nearly two years you got a new driver in the bag. I know you started testing last fall with this driver. What do you think it enhances in your game?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: I feel like what we have seen is more consistent spin numbers. So that will help it be a little bit more accurate off the tee. Directionally, I struggled a little bit with it at the start of the year, but I got to what I thought was a really good spot last week, and I liked what I saw today.
