 ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI
 
 Q.  Talk a little about your play today.  Hot start for you there early on.
 MARK MIELKE:  Yeah, almost too hot.  Kind of got me out of my comfort zone a little bit.  But it was good.  And I made some bogeys and some birdies, it was a really up‑and‑down round.
 I was trying to keep hitting it solid and not do anything real stupid out there and at worst a bogey maybe.  But it still was good.  I made a good par on 18, made a good birdie on 17, made a good par on 18.  So it was good.
 
 Q.  Talk about the four hole stretch where you had three birdies.
 MARK MIELKE:  Yeah, putter got a little hot there.  I made some unexpected putts that sometimes don't go in, they went in.  Yeah, I got a little adrenaline going there and I got a little bit kind a little ahead of myself a little bit, just because I felt so much adrenaline.  But it was good.  It was good to be it in that experience, it was a lot of fun.
 
 Q.  Being a club pro, how exciting is it to be in contention heading into the weekend?
 MARK MIELKE:  Absolutely.  It's awesome.  It's great.  It's something that you don't, you come here saying, hey, I would like to make the cut.  And then when you get up the board you say, hey, I want to play better than making the cut.  So it's real exciting.  But it's a real thrill for a club pro to be hanging with these guys, you know, it was good.
