Q. We're now joined by Don Pooley. If you could start us off by running through the bogeys on your card, please?

DON POOLEY: I birdied 11 and 12. Do you want me to talk about that boring stuff, huh? I started on 10 -- actually I played well all day. I hit two bad shots and made bogeys on both of those holes.

I had birdie putts on 16 of the holes and made five of them.

I birdied 11. I hit a 7-iron -- no, a 9-iron, yeah, 9-iron on 11 about 12 feet.

I birdied 12. I'm trying to remember the holes. I hit an 8-iron in there about 25 feet.

I hit a bad drive on 18 and made bogey.

I hit a 7-iron into 1 about six feet and made that for birdie.

I hit a 5-iron into 5 about 20 feet and made that for birdie.

I hit it stiff on 7 with a 7-iron about a foot away, maybe two. That was my birdies.

I had a lot of good chances for birdie. I misread some putts, but I hit a lot of really good putts, so I'm very pleased with the round overall.

Q. You must be super pleased. There is something happening here. You had a lot of good shots last week in Ireland. Is there a continuum here?

DON POOLEY: I hope so. I played well last week for most of the week. I had a few mistakes there each day. It was a tough course. It was perfect conditions today. The course is in perfect shape. The greens were very soft today, a lot softer than the practice rounds. That's why we're scoring so low.

Q. When you only miss one fairway, that would lead to a lot of chances for birdies?

DON POOLEY: I had a lot of opportunities today. I made five of them. It was a good day, good start.

Q. Are you familiar with the weather for tomorrow?

DON POOLEY: I have no idea. Thunder showers?

Q. Heavier later in the day. Maybe you will get done in the light rain.

DON POOLEY: God, I would hate it if that happened.

Q. Are you jet lagged at all?

DON POOLEY: No I feel great. I had a nice flight back.

Q. Are you serious?

DON POOLEY: I'm serious, I had a nice flight back.

Q. Did you go home first?

DON POOLEY: Straight here.

Q. Commercially or --

DON POOLEY: No, privately. It was a nice flight.

Q. You didn't feel you were at any disadvantage coming straight?

DON POOLEY: No, I paid extra money to do what I did, and I feel real good. Last year, I flew commercially over to Boston and I felt horrible that week. I didn't want to do that with the US Open. A bunch of us went privately, and I think it worked out great jet lag-wise. It didn't work out so good financially-wise.

Q. It could yet.

DON POOLEY: It could pay for itself. That's what I'm hoping.

All right, thanks, guys.
