Q. Seems it didn't matter that your clubs took awhile to get here. Pretty good round to start things off.
VIKTOR HOVLAND: Yeah. No, it was nice. Definitely a good start. A little disappointing that I didn't shoot more than 4-under par. Putted so good the front nine, and then the back nine not so much, but that's how it is sometimes.
Q. It probably makes sense, there was a few just loose swings. Like you said yesterday, you would have liked to have got that rust off, so then one or two and it hurt you a little bit, but hopefully those will be gone going forward.
VIKTOR HOVLAND: Yeah, I hope so too. No, I played with my caddie's clubs the first couple days and just kind of getting the rust off and I feel like I've been getting better every single day.
But it's definitely a little bit different in a tournament because then you got to think about the misses and the consequences, where to aim, and that's where the rust kind of shows up for sure.
But I think it doesn't take that much time to get back into it.
Q. Obviously today's the first round with the new green book scenario. Did you notice it? Was it a change for you?
VIKTOR HOVLAND: Yeah, I just use AimPoint and just kind of feel it out. I don't really look at the books very much. So for me it doesn't matter that much.
