Quick Quotes


Q. 70 today, how do you assess that

TOM McKIBBIN: Yeah, pretty good. Under-par round around here is always pretty good. Especially in that wind today.

Q. Nice to start with an eagle?

TOM McKIBBIN: Yeah, very nice. It's place pretty much like a par 4. It was a driver and a 54 in there this morning to about a couple inches and just went up and tapped it in for a three.

Q. Some difficulties on 18?

TOM McKIBBIN: Yeah, I mean, it's a hard -- very hard hole, straight into the wind. Can't really afford to hit a bad shot, and felt like I almost hit too good of a shot. Was sort of aiming off the left and into that wind, the ball can curve a lot for me and I hit it sort of slightly too straight, too well, and sort of scrambled well for six at the end.
