PGA CHAMPIONSHIPAugust 9, 2012Matt DobynsKIAWAH ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA Q. I don't know much about the particulars, but I do know that this wasn't a good start at all. Was it the driver more than anything today or what? MATT DOBYNS: Yeah, it wasn't at all what I'm used to, to be able to have angles into greens to have birdie putts. I lost control of my tee shot today, and if you do that here, generous off the tee to a certain point, but if you hit it off line where I was hitting it, it basically becomes impossible to shoot a certain score. Q. A couple holes you were unable to recover in any way today? MATT DOBYNS: I felt like I kind of hung in there, and then I got to 17 and I hit the wrong club. As a result I made a double. Doubles kill you in tournament golf. This is a place where you can make some bogeys and get by, but no matter how tough a golf course is, if you make a double, it's going to be an uphill battle, and really when I did that, it kind of got away from me there. The round went from being a round I could salvage to one that just kind of got out of hand. You know, I played a little better on the back and started to get control, and as a result I had a little better back nine. Try to build on it tomorrow. Q. How was your practice round getting here? MATT DOBYNS: Oh, the practice rounds were great. I shot nothing on the practice rounds. But the practice rounds aren't the real thing. You know, you never really know what to expect on the first tee of a major until you do it, and I had never done it before. Certainly I was a bit overwhelmed. It got me out of my rhythm. It got me out of my process and my routine, and the results showed. Q. Just a few butterflies here and there? MATT DOBYNS: Oh, butterflies all the way around, really, but more than that, I just let the outside agents, all these things that go along with playing a major get me out of what I normally do and got me out of my whole process, my whole routine, how I chose targets, how I chose clubs and things like that. And when that happens, when you miss it, it's going to be tough. Q. Tomorrow you can say it's a new day? MATT DOBYNS: It's a new day. I need to shoot about a 62 to make the cut. We'll see what happens. But nonetheless, the experience was still a valuable one for me.
