 August 1, 2013
 AKRON, OHIO
 
 Q.  Nice start to the tournament for you.
 JIM FURYK:  Yeah, happy to get out there and get a good number under my belt.  The greens were pretty soft.  The golf course was out there for the taking.  Didn't get as breezy as I think they predicted, but it's still a hard golf course.  It's still hard to score on.
 
 Q.  You did a good job off the tee.
 JIM FURYK:  I felt good about that.  I put the ball in play a lot.  On my second side on the front, I hit some really crisp iron shots, set up a bunch of birdies there at 1, 2 and 3.  Had a bunch of other putts that didn't go in, so I gave myself a lot of opportunities there.
 
 Q.  Did the greens stay receptive throughout the day?
 JIM FURYK:  Yeah, they really did.  As soft as they were Monday and Tuesday, and then we got a bunch of rain all day yesterday, I don't really see them firming up for a while.  Maybe late in the week or Sunday, but for right now I think they're going to be pretty receptive the rest of the week.
