Off the first tee, I was like,' Whoa,' because of the views. It's just way different than I imagined watching on TV, the undulation is unlike anything I had seen anywhere else. The thing about it is it looks downhill, but it's even more downhill than it looks.

It is a blast playing the 'Bear Trap' and those holes are really visually intimidating, i'm excited to play them again.

Nobody every talks about all the holes on the front, there's some really difficult holes. I think the rest of the course is a little bit under-rated.

I feel like when I'm playing guitar and I'm having to think about the chords or if I'm attempting to sing, by myself of course, I think it puts my brain in a place where I can't think about anything else, it kind of puts you in that zone where I have to turn the brain off for a little bit, so I hope it helps.

I've played pretty well here so far. Hopefully I can have another good week here. The one thing I've always noticed, what changes for me, or what I am more aware of, is my attitude, i'm a little bit tougher and I'm a little bit easier on myself on this course. Because it's so hard, I know that if I can just hang around and keep making pars, maybe grab a birdie; if I just hang around the best I can, I feel like that's what you have to do.

They were nice enough to let me play two songs with them that we had planned out Saturday after the round at Riviera and it was a blast, then they actually called me up during the encore for the last song and told me the chords when I was on stage and turned my guitar back on, so that was really fun, getting a little bit of a bonus song there. So it is something I'll always remember.

I kept the ball in front of me pretty decent today, and didn't scare too many chances at bogey, but my main thing was obviously I putted great and was seeing the lines today. If I can putt like that every day, I would probably have a few more wins.

A little bit sloppy on the back nine but made the par saves I needed to make to put pressure on Hideki. He just played incredible golf today, i wish I could have put some more pressure on him. Tough to beat 3-wood to 2 feet on 18.

It stings. I played some great golf, i feel like I was in it the entire time mentally this time. I didn’t have too many mental lapses like I have other tournaments where I’ve been close to the lead in the last couple years. So feel like I was there. Just got to keep chugging.

Nice to finish like that, i don't remember the last time I had two eagles in the same round, but it's definitely exciting.

Didn't take me very long to realize it's really hard, had a lot of up-and-downs my first year, second year, I mean, every year. After this first one, I remember thinking it might be easier than I thought.

I've gotten hot a few times and won some TOUR events for sure, but consistently I think the last year or so has been my best year, and I feel good about it, i feel like I have more of a complete game. But I haven't finished top 10 in majors or anything. Haven't really been in the majors. I want to make that better, play better in the majors.
