What They're Saying
Jordan Spieth (via PGA Tour): "Very pleased. It was a good start. Just tried to hang on there. Even par was a good score on the back. [Chasing history] "Never even came into my mind and it probably won't the rest of the week."
Tiger Woods (via USA Today): "I made so many mistakes. I just didn't play well. It was not ideal. It was just one of those mixed bags. I know that today is a very benign day. Guys are going to go low. Guys have been shooting good numbers. Unfortunately, I did not do that. Hopefully the conditions will be tough tomorrow and I can put together a good round, and we'll move up the board progressively."
