Brooks and Pete went an unorthodox way, i'm not saying it's easier to come over here by any means, but it's done a lot for Pete and Brooks as far as going to places you've never been before - you're learning about yourself, your golf game and growing up.

What makes you think hes going to be leading? i would say theres no lead really safe here.

It keeps 18 (majors) in play, i don't doubt that this is going to be his most special one yet. To get his 15th after a long wait, after a lot of years away from competitive golf, being in a position where he wasn't sure he was going to play again, it's cool stuff.

I'm happy with it, hit some good shots out there, made a few putts. Yeah, 15, 16, kind of a little unforced errors.

It's always nice to get out and make some birdies early, shake off some rust.

Other than two holes it was a pretty darn good round, a couple of bad swings, a couple of bad breaks, you kind of have to roll with the punches and I think we did a good job of that today, putting things behind us.

I had a chance to birdie the last seven, i hit some really good putts to finish the day off.

Fourteen cost me a good shot to get in good position in the clubhouse, there are a couple swings I ’d like to have back.

It's a strong field. But The Americans're the only country with a chance for a podium sweep.

If winds pick up, shooting even par on the course will be nice. by Rickie Fowler

If winds pick up, shooting even par on the course will be nice.

It's all about what the wind does, i was playing on Sunday and had to basically stop playing because the wind was blowing so hard from the wrong direction.

Having my mom, dad, and sister out this week with their two little dogs and staying in a house. So set up a little spot that feels like home for the week, and just out playing another tournament, but it happens to be the U.S. Open, now I've just got to be the one that has the lowest score.

After two hole-in-ones, you got to man up and hit the shot, justin couldn’t do it.

Pretty cool to be able to do that for Ernie Els and the foundation, it's a small target. No one really expects it because it's kind of a shot in the dark.

It's nice to have a tee time tomorrow, i didn’t hit the center of the (club) face a whole lot yesterday. (Today I) made a couple of good swings, got things going, made a few putts.

We have a tough decision between the two of those guys. by Rickie Fowler

We have a tough decision between the two of those guys.

He went out there and earned it today, he played some great golf. What he did yesterday (61), to back it up with a solid round of golf, it's what you got to do to win.

It's amazing, we obviously look at this as one of the biggest tournaments we play, up against the majors.

To shoot 68 in some tough conditions on a tough golf course and be six back, wouldn't really expect that.

I am getting some things turned the right direction, (I need to) get some momentum going and getting back to being in contention and make it a fun year, the biggest thing for me ... is just getting better at 150 yards and in.

Everyone out here is human, we all understand the struggles out here as far as good golf and bad golf and the ups and downs of the game. That's just part of the process if you're working on new stuff or just having a bad day.
