PUERTO RICO OPEN PRESENTED BY SEEPUERTORICO.COM


March 7, 2013


Cameron Percy


RIO GRANDE, PUERTO RICO

Q.  Impressive start.  7‑under.  Tell me about your thoughts on today's start here in Puerto Rico.
CAMERON PERCY:  Just I hit it on the fairway a lot.  I just had perfect yardages on a lot of the pins and I just hit it close all day.  So it was a pretty basic 7‑under in the end.

Q.  We were checking the stats and your putting was quite impressive.  Talk to me about that.
CAMERON PERCY:  Yeah.  Just my son had my putter last week and I didn't have a putter this week until about 4:00 yesterday afternoon.  About 2:00 the Ping guy was on the green and I went over and tried a few putters out.
I had about 15 minutes, went bang and tried a new putter out, and it felt really nice and I rolled the ball beautifully.  So it was, yeah, very unexpected.

Q.  I think I was told it was 10 putts on the back nine?
CAMERON PERCY:  That would probably be about right.  It wasn't many.  Yeah, it wouldn't have been too many because I hit a few fringes and stuff.  Yeah, not many.

Q.  Do you ever remember a day like that?
CAMERON PERCY:  Well, they were all pretty short except for on 12.  I holed about a 25‑footer on 12, just a little left‑to‑righter.  That was a nice one.  The rest of them were all five and six feet sort of thing.

Q.  Besides the putting, what else went well today?
CAMERON PERCY:  Just drove the ball really nicely.  I've been trying to not hit the ball too hard, so I just tried and hit three‑quarters drivers and just kept the ball in play and I did that today and it was quite nice.

Q.  Have you played the Puerto Rico Open before?
CAMERON PERCY:  Yes, this is my third time.  I really enjoy it.  I really like the golf course.  It's always nice and warm here.  It's been so cold lately I haven't been able to feel my hands for about a month it feels like.  So it's nice to get out and play in some warm weather.  So I really like it down here.

Q.  Currently tied for the lead for the players who have finished so far.  So it's a good start, promising for a long week still ahead.
CAMERON PERCY:  Yeah, exactly.  7‑under in the first round, nice conditions in the morning, that's what you're trying to do.  So just hope we can keep it going.

Q.  Thank you.
