00:00I think it was a bit of a slow start, sort of up and down. I hit a couple of shots over

00:05the first few holes that I, I guess, haven't seen in practice over the last 10 days. So,

00:11a bit of a reminder that golf isn't as easy as sometimes I think it is. But then I really

00:17started to feel good. Especially on the front nine or back nine, I started to hit some good

00:25drives, some good iron shots. I gave myself plenty of chances on that back nine and actually

00:33felt like I left a couple out there as well. So, overall, a good start. Especially after

00:39sort of the scrappy start over the first six or seven holes.
