Q. David, quite the start you got off to, 5 under through five, 6 under through seven, I think. How did it feel to get off to that start and then just to kind of keep your composure and finish strong with a 6 under?

DAVID LINGMERTH: Yeah, obviously always is great to get off to a good start. Hit some great shots early on and was able to knock a few putts in. Yeah, felt really, really good about things. Obviously after those first, I guess, seven holes, it kind of died down with the efficiency a little bit. But I kept doing some good things out there, it just didn't really show up on the scorecard quite as much as it did there early on. Would have liked to have a few more birdies, but I feel happy about the day obviously.

Q. How have you been feeling coming into the week? Have you felt like your form's been coming around pretty strong?

DAVID LINGMERTH: I felt like I've been striking the ball fairly well and just not getting anything out of it, but haven't been putting very well. Last week in Bermuda I struck the ball really well all week and I think last round and a half or so I feel like I was starting to hit a lot of good putts, too, and they were dropping a little bit. So I was hoping to be able to carry some of that over into this week and so far so good.

Q. Yesterday the course took a lot of water obviously. How did it hold up today? I know it was preferred lies in place.

DAVID LINGMERTH: Yeah, we had to play lift, clean and place today. There were a lot of instances we would have had to battle with mud balls if that hadn't been the case. It softened up a lot. It was actually quite firm, especially the greens, when I played the practice round on Tuesday, so it changed a bit. It was a lot of rain, but the course is still in fantastic shape, one of the best shapes I've ever seen this place in.
