Q. (No Microphone.)

CHESSON HADLEY: I've had the last three weeks off, which sometimes you don't want, but with how poorly I've been playing it was kind of nice to have some time off. So I just kind of regrouped and I just did some things right today that I haven't done in a long time as far as hitting some fairways and hitting some greens, got some balls up-and-down that I needed to get up-and-down and it was huge.

It's needed. I'm 150 whatever on the FedExCup, so I'm behind the 8-ball a little bit, I'm not in danger zone, but some more rounds like this and we're going to be moving in the right direction for sure.

Q. (No Microphone.)

CHESSON HADLEY: Yeah, I think, sure. I think this course sets up very well for me. Statistically, this year, if you look at it, I'm, I've been very poor ball striking-wise and this is, it's a generous off the tee, I'm certainly not saying that to try and pump up the way I drove the ball today but it was good to play from the fairway and it is, it is, you know, I was, I'm fresh, I did play the 36 on Monday for the U.S. Open qualifier, but having those three weeks off, I'm fresh and I'm ready to go and, sure, I think it helps just not having everybody know the course, yeah.

Q. (No Microphone.)

CHESSON HADLEY: I think it's awesome. I heard so many great things about it and it's a very young golf course and I played with three ambassadors yesterday and just kind of, just got the whole story behind it and kind of what they want to do out here and what a treat. It's so beautiful just with the cottages and the live oaks. And I love the grass, it's very different, it's firm and fast and sandy out here and it's great. So if any of you ever get the opportunity to come and play and get invited to play, you need to do it.
