		  Q.  Good day out there.  You're in good position heading into the weekend.  
CHRIS STROUD:  Yeah, pretty solid.  I left a few out there.  But it's a pretty short course, a lot of wedges.  I missed a few more fairways today.  But if you hit the fairways out here, you can make a lot of birdies.  Obviously, you've got to make the putts too.  But I left a few out there.  I'm in good position, that's all I can ask for. 
 
Q.  It's an interesting course.  There is a lot of strategy that goes into a course like this with such tight fairways.  There are some holes that are shorter than others, but it's not a course that you can necessarily overpower, even though it's shorter than this.  
CHRIS STROUD:  Right.  Even though the yardage shows that it's that short, because the fairways are so soft, it's still not playing that short.  I mean, there are a lot of short holes, some of the long holes are downhill, a lot of wedges, but when the fairways are this soft, it plays 200, 300, 400 yards longer.  But it's enjoyable.  
You can ask anybody out here.  You miss a fairway, you're going to have a hard time make a par.  It's a great test of golf.  The greens are actually nice and firm.  Put some nice pins out there today.  But Keegan's setting a good pace out there.  And I believe that's where the number's going to be.  4‑under, 5‑under a day is where the pace is going to be.  I'm going to do my best to see if I can get up to about 20 for the week. 
 
Q.  This your first trip out this way?  
CHRIS STROUD:  It is.  I got in two years ago and didn't come here, but I'm happy I came.  My wife and I came for the first time.  It was an easy trip.  Felt it wasn't too bad.  I adjusted pretty well.  I'm used to this nice, hot, humid, Houston weather, so I'm used to it.
