“I wasn't feeling well at all Friday and it was a struggle. I was tired coming up the last couple of holes yesterday, but I managed to finish birdie, birdie. And then I went and shot this score today, maybe I should keep this bug.”
“Obviously my ball striking is good when it's on, and that's why I've had some really good results recently. I've been gradually improving my short game over the last couple of years. I'm just happy to be up and playing well early on in the season because I had my best year last year, and when you have a bit of winter break, you never know how it's going to start.”
“I kept on trying all the way and couldn't get close enough. And the greens are very tricky to read. ... Chris got off to a flying start, just kept it together and pretty much finished it off with a birdie on 16.”
“I felt relaxed as it was early in the round and I thought in the conditions that if I could get it going, I would have a fair chance of catching up. I just didn't play well enough. Second is not that bad, but going out with a one-shot lead you always want to win. I've had a few second places now and I'd like to change it for a win, but it's only the first tournament of the year so I'll hopefully get plenty of chances.”
“I didn't get off to a great start. I had just one birdie, on the fourth, but kept plugging away, making pars. Then I got it going on the back nine with those birdies,”
“Second is not bad, but going out with a one-shot lead, you always want to win as there has been a few second place finishes lately, so I would like to change them into a win.”
