Quick Quotes


Q. The obvious question is how you feel about that first round back this year. YOU hit it pretty well and crept up that leaderboard without too much notice.

BROOKS KOEPKA: Yeah, I thought it was pretty solid. The equipment's really good, very pleased with it. It's a little bit different with this golf course being a little wet. It's just not the same. You're used to balls releasing. Hopefully the wind kind of dries it out a little bit, and so on.

But I'm pleased. I struck it well, just one bad swing.

Q. You reminded me of the big change. Usually it takes awhile to get into a groove when you make a big switch equipment-wise. No issues?

BROOKS KOEPKA: No. It's been really easy. I'm very, very happy, and it's even taken me by shock how easy this transition is and I think everything's getting right where it should be. Game feels good. I feel good. I should be playing good.

Q. Have you had any reaction, any noticing of the new green book scenario?

BROOKS KOEPKA: It doesn't really bug me. If anything, I used it more from wedge yardages, trying to figure out where I -- it's a step in the right direction. I don't think it bugs me too much. But I think there's a few other changes they can make.
