Mark struggled and that's pretty much what happened with Jeff Maggert,
bad bogey few front green hit holes putting quite second start struggled took
I got off to a bad start on the first when I hit my second over the green and took a bogey five. Ernie then birdied quite a few holes on the front nine, but I struggled all day. While Ernie was always putting for birdies, I was scrambling.
easy
I think that's as easy as you will see it today.
bad ball bit both great hard hit instead landing lie question shock shot spot wrong
On 17 we both hit the wrong clubs, eight-irons instead of nine-irons. I didn't have much of a shot and it was a bad lie in a hard pan. It was a question of landing the ball in the right spot and it was a bit of a shock when it went in. But then it was a great up-and-down by Ernie as well.

Mark struggled and that's pretty much what happened with Jeff Maggert, ... He pretty much struggled all the way, especially on the back nine this morning, and that's really where I got ahead.

Adam played well today, ... I struggled and was completely out of it on a few holes, but he kept us going.

It's usually a 6-iron, depending on the wind. Sometimes, it can be a 5-iron, or even a 4-iron, when the pin is to the right.

I just couldn't make a putt today to save my life. On a golf course like this, its so tough that anything can happen.

He pretty much struggled all the way. Especially on the back nine this morning, and that's really where I got ahead.

I think the course setup was perfect today. Tomorrow it might blow a gale, and we'll all be moaning at things. But I don't think anybody will be unhappy with the way the course played today.
happiness jumps somebody
I'm not really somebody that jumps up and down, ... But on the inside, I was happy.
match obviously paper seen strong turn
I wouldn't say we feel like we're the underdogs. Obviously on paper we look like we are probably not as strong a team. But in match play, it always can turn around so many times, like we've seen in the Ryder Cup.
beaten great obviously
Obviously it was a great round, I don't think it will be beaten for awhile,
