Quick Quotes


Q. You Monday qualify here and then you put up a 67 in the opening round. Tell me about your day.

TAIN LEE: Thank you, appreciate it. Yeah, this week's actually been a little better. The two I did earlier this year, it's a whirlwind to finish on Tuesday actually at Torrey Pines for the qualifier, but finished Sunday here, so it was nice to come to the course a little bit. I got a caddie who is a local here which is awesome and he helped me out a lot. We got off to a good start, struck it pretty well and rolled a couple in. This course, as firm as it got, with the roll out, you don't know some of the lines off the tees, so my caddie helped me out a lot with that, that was good.

Q. I know you haven't played in that many PGA TOUR events. You played twice this year at Valero and Farmers, made the cut both times, but you really learned to play golf or you've been playing golf on the Mackenzie Tour, PGA TOUR Canada, how has that prepared you for competition out here?

TAIN LEE: Oh, it's great. They run those events so good. They try to get the conditions really good. This is pretty extreme how firm it is this week, but we see different conditions out there and the players out there are so good and it prepares you. So it makes you feel more comfortable out here having been through that.

Q. You missed just two fairway, 12 of 14 fairways, that's tremendous at this place.

TAIN LEE: Yeah, I didn't know that. My caddie was just giving me lines and I was kind of pointing and shooting and that was pretty much it today.
