What They’re Saying - Round One

“It was awesome. I had some more nerves early than I expected, but it was a blast out there. We were talking about it all day. The fans were great, the crowd was awesome, the energy was great. The pressure I put on my state the last couple of tournaments when I've kind of called them out, they came through for us today.” - Talor Gooch (68 in Rd. 1)

“I think the crowds were great today. A lot of fans out there. There was a lot of support. Yeah, I think the crowds were really good.” - Dustin Johnson (63 in Rd. 1)

“Yeah, the crowds were amazing and the energy was great. So exciting that everybody showed up and is having a great time out here because we think we have a great thing going, and I love to see people in new places come out and check it out. So really exciting to see the turnout today.” - Brendan Steele (63 in Rd. 1)

“I think if you can be aggressive and you really back yourself off the tees, you can go in with a lot lower irons into the greens. The greens are quite tricky. They're quite severe with the slopes and things. But if you can just stick to your game plan, try and hit your spots and kind of forget about the pins and try to give yourself the putts, the greens are really good. I think they're running maybe 12 or something out there. It's a great golf course. It's the second time here, so we've enjoyed it so far.” - Branden Grace (61 in Rd. 1)

“I think this is probably the best one we've had in America to be quite honest. In Australia it was fantastic. Singapore was really good, as well. We came out there with a warm welcome, and you come to Tulsa, the guys are really loving it out here. They're sport-hungry or event hungry if I can put it that way. I've only heard the one, the PGA that was here last year. So coming back here was great, and seeing all the guys coming out.” - Branden Grace
