Q. 68, 4-under par, six birdies and two bogeys on the card. Give us your impression of your play today.
COLLIN MORIKAWA: It was pretty solid throughout. Obviously the two bogeys were a little unenforced but I made a few birdies out there and kept the momentum going and it was a good way to start the first rounds out here.
Q. You're renowned as one of the best if not the best iron player in the world. These flags are tucked in sections. Do you feel it's playing to your strengths?
COLLIN MORIKAWA: Yeah, especially when you're hitting well. I felt really good coming into the week with my irons. They showed up today on a few shots and I hit a couple good 7-irons today and just need to keep doing that. That's my game. And when putts start to drop, we're close to (top of) the leaderboard.
