Quick Quotes

Q. On a day when the average score is 73.8 you just shot 68. What was the secret today?

JERRY KELLY: I tell you, I had a good feel with my longer putts. I certainly didn't hit it close. But some of the really, really good two-putts out there, using the slopes, and just trying to keep the ball in front of me, not do too much. It's fun playing this type of golf. It's difficult. I know we are expecting even more weather coming up.

So this is only 36 holes, and this course can do anything to anybody. But I really enjoy it.

Q. Describe the conditions for us, what the main challenges are in these conditions on this course.

JERRY KELLY: I mean, it's kind of like playing golf on the moon and not knowing what gravity is going to do to your ball, how far you're going to hit it and where it's going it land and hitting the craters and going all over the place. It's acceptance, and that's normally not my game. But I brought it this week, and I hope I continue to bring it because you're going to be wrong, and it's going to bounce in places that -- that was a good shot but -- no but. Just go get it done the next time. I'm always learning.

Q. Do you enjoy the challenge?

JERRY KELLY: I do. When I'm truly enjoying the challenge, I play much better. I always ground it out my entire career. But I'm learning to accept some things and enjoy some things.
