Quick Quotes

Q. Joining me after the first round of the Fortinet Founders Cup is Polly Mack. Polly, a 6-under 66 today. Just talk about what went well out there.

POLLY MACK: Really played shot by shot. Hit a lot of fairways and greens and left myself with a lot of birdie chances. Had a lot of wedges into greens, and that's what I've been working on the most this offseason.

It's good to see that coming into play and really coming along and seeing that progress. Yeah, just had a lot of short birdie putts. Used most of them to my advantage, yeah.

Q. You had a double on 10. Then you obviously worked your way back and made three birdies on the back nine. How do you bounce back and not let it get you down?

POLLY MACK: It's funny, I have my mental coach here this week and it's great to just really see that work coming in play right there. I think I did pretty good at just doing my post-shot routine and basically letting that bounce off right there and move on and just not let it affect me too much.

Q. You had your first start at Blue Bay; first start in the United States this week. What are your goals for the season? Anything that you're focusing on as we get back into the swing of things?

POLLY MACK: Yeah, I mean, just keep working on the things that I've been working on. It shows off. I think that's what I've always been saying, that I'm one the longer hitters. Once I have my wedges dialed in and have my birdie chances then things are coming along.
