Q. Started off with three birdies in your first five holes and finished pretty good with two in the last four. Take me through those holes.
JEFF MAGGERT: The early start today was a bonus, and I'm sure a lot of the guys took advantage of it. The course was soft and not much wind.
So I just hit some good shots. The first two holes are holes to take care of so -- and then just hitting them in there close, easy tap-in birdies, and made a nice putt on the 5th hole. Not really a birdie hole but made a nice long putt there.
Just tried to hit a lot of fairways and greens today and that's kind of what I did. I missed the fairway on 9. In a bad lie; made bogey.
Other than that, I drove it really well and didn't get in a lot of trouble out there.
Q. So same game plan for tomorrow: Fairways and greens?
JEFF MAGGERT: Yeah, played a little tougher at the end because the wind came up. I'm sure tomorrow be a little bit more challenging. Definitely fairways and greens.
Q. You're a past champion. Think you're in that mode right now with this good start?
JEFF MAGGERT: Yeah, been playing a lot better. I've always had success on USGA setups and U.S. Opens and Senior Opens. I feel comfortable here. I like the golf course. Beautiful golf course. Just keep doing what I'm doing and try it make some birdies over the next three days.
