Honestly I was a bit -- very nervous out there starting off the game. Just be patient, do your best. Just when nervous thinking rise, just let it go.

Even my friends ask me, too, and I really don't know. I do my best all the time.

I really fought out there. Just tried to make as many birdies as I could. Probably didn't play probably 15 and 16 the way I wanted to, but I think overall I had a pretty solid performance.
