What They're Saying

Charley Hoffman: "Not that I don't have expectations for myself [now], but I wouldn't say I've failed. I've been pretty successful out here for 10 years."

Billy Horschel: "I'm comfortable with hitting the tee shots, what they call for, and hitting iron shots into the greens. And I've seen this golf course in every type of wind, from no wind to the hardest wind coming from every direction."

David Hearn: "Growing up in this area, he [Brent Everson] knows this type of grass and how these greens sort of break. You know, that gives you a little bit of confidence when you get over those putts that it's going to do what you're seeing."
