Q. Cam, can you just take me through the round a little bit?
CAMERON YOUNG: I played pretty well. I got off to a nice start on the first hole. Then bogeyed a very difficult hole, bogeyed another very difficult hole, and then played really nicely from there on out. I feel like I made a great bogey when I was out of position on 5 or whatever hole that was.
Then a pretty sour one on the last, what I thought was a good tee shot, and got up there and have no stance one foot off the fairway. That was fun.
Q. Kind of with the good middle part of the round and stuff like that, coming back early tomorrow, how does that translate for you to get off to kind of another good start tomorrow kind of like you did today?
CAMERON YOUNG: The entirety of the battle is hitting fairways. Not that you can play poorly if you hit fairways and shoot a good score, but I think that's the main thing. So that should be easier in the morning. I don't think there's going to be much wind. The greens should be softer and smoother. So I feel like tomorrow is a nice opportunity in the morning.
Obviously it's never going to be easy, but if I drive it well, I'll have a lot of chances for sure.
Q. Did the course play as you expected it to play after the practice rounds this morning?
CAMERON YOUNG: I thought the greens would be firmer today. With some rain coming I think over the next couple days, I'm surprised that they weren't firmer. Mostly, yeah, the rough is horrible. If you hit it in the church pew bunkers, you're kind of screwed, and if you're above the hole, you're also kind of screwed.
Q. You're a Wake Forest guy. Arnold Palmer, Wake Forest guy, never won here. Coming here, any significance for golf history to play here with a possible chance to win here?
CAMERON YOUNG: Any time you tee it up in a major championship, you've got all kinds of history and all kinds of opportunity. I know they've hosted a lot U.S. Opens here. I just make the most of anywhere. There's been a lot of great golf played here and great champions made here.
As much as it's very special to be at a place like this, that's the case at any major championship, and I'm always happy to be a part of that.
