Opening round six under what’ you like about today uh pretty much everything you know I had a lot of time off and uh I was able to to work on some things mentally you know I’ve played so much golf the last two years that I think it was 15
Weeks off and um so I was eager to get out um you know I was eager to just play golf and you know being away from the game so much you know you you’re you get very grateful to be out here and so for me I wanted to put some some systems in
Place uh I wanted to commit to every shot and have a clear picture and it didn’t matter the result you know and um I was able to do that pretty much the whole round and you know I I I was able to get out uh a lot of the feels that I
Usually feel when I play well so um for me it was it was it was just a a a nice way to get around I drove the ball really well I ped really nicely and uh yeah overall I just was able to execute somewhat what I was seeing in front of
Me you’d seen this course uh last year so what’s kind of the keys and takeaways you took from last time out yeah I mean when you see it the second time you obviously can play a little bit of a different game plan um you know there’s
There’s a lot of shots where you think you have the right Club but you have to take one more it just plays so much longer um and then it’s long you know luckily I’m I’m a good driver of the ball and so I’m giving myself pretty
Good looks um but the key for me has been I needed to switch a little bit and and get more greens regulation this season starting on you know um last year it’s it killed me a little bit and so so today was a good iron iron iron game
Play today so um yeah this golf course you you just don’t need to attack too much you know greens regulation does it goes a long way Sunday Last Man in the field so how good does it feel to just kind of what momentum you gaining from
This round today yeah once again I mean I was fortunate that they called me that I got the sponsors invite when it opened up um I wanted to play I’ve been messaging the guy for like a month you know so I’m sure he was tired of me but
Uh uh I wanted to be here I like this golf course I like this place and uh once again I was eager to play golf and um you know coming out short notice is it’s a good course for me to start out you know like you you can get away with
Here and there a bad shots so coming off my surgery 10 weeks ago um you know it’s there’s always a little bit of doubt and um you know there’s a little bit bit of pain but you know you got to just trust it and not flinch at it so how didd you
Find out you were in the field uh the tour called me Sunday night and I was like listen uh will zator is with Drew and um Scott Pierce is you know his number and uh they decided to give it to you and I was I was ecstatic I mean
Obviously I was I was like man I I was still hopeful that there’s like one or two withdrawals cuz I was third alternate So eventually the third alternate got in so uh so you know there was always a chance but it’s nice to be able to plan some slides and stuff like
That since we’ve seen you last you’ve had some injuries kind of go over hand and you said knee so what happened and the process and how you’re healing yeah so uh I played pretty much the whole since August last year with pain in my hand and thought it was just
Overused played 35 events um rested came back not any better uh went and saw a doctor and I have what they call carpal boss and it’s um it’s a hereditary RS in a family it’s a just a bone condition that where the the Corporal bones grow into each other and anytime you bend
Your hand it just it collides and causes inflammation so uh Dr Dr Jordan in Houston was able to uh go in there and you know it’s it’s not a it’s not a cool procedure but he he chisels all the bone away and makes room for for the movement
And um so yeah 10 weeks and uh it’s been I mean I I’ve I’ve gone hard you know my my physical therapist told me that you you need to settle down because I want I was just ready to get back and um so I think it’s good it’s about 80% the hand
And uh yeah I tore my MCL uh luckily at first degree degree tear New Year’s Eve getting out of the car so uh but you know we were able to survive and it’s nice to have the family around and you know I had a good excuse to get away
From the game the game was um beating me down mentally um you know I I have bipolar and um you know for me getting into a deep hole when you play too much and when you don’t play well um only way to get out is just to step away and so
There was a it was it was a blessing in disguise so what have been the keys to getting back to physically and mentally well the keys are uh just to reflect um talk it through with your your family your wife and and some mentors and um you know I have some good
Mentors Padre has been Harrington has been mentoring me a little uh I grew up known retif and so so all those guys have been helping me to to reset um I was able to refocus on what what I need to do in my swing and how to build my
Game uh re-evaluate how I want to approach the season and what makes me the best and then set some high goals you know um the key to uh you know putting it all together mentally and physically is to just uh for me you know being bipolar your head is all over the
Place to to put systems in place uh you know routines and and be in discipline about it so have you’ve been able to talk and get together with padri at all this week yeah we played a practice round on Tuesday and um at some stage I
Told him I said are you going to give me a lesson or tip he’s like I don’t need to give you anything because it’s all in your head I was like okay well so speaking of friends uh Eric man royan up there fellow Zurich partner yeah what
Can you say about his game trending obviously you know since since Mexico is it’s been confidence on but um you know I played with him in at Zurich and you know there was a little bit of a struggled there but I think he was where
A lot of a lot of guys were um at some stage in the year you know and but I I’ve watched him put the work in I mean he he is a grinder he’s a Believer I mean he is positive um you know I love
Feeding off of him um you know we grew up together we’ve known each other since we were 14 so um so yeah I mean it’s it’s great to have someone that um is just positive about everything and um yeah so his his Trend right now I mean
It’s it’s it’s pretty much when you put the hard work together with some confidence and that’s anybody’s work towards it so you talked to him are you pitching it all to uh play Zurich again this year’s Partners I did I did unfortunately he told me no so he’s he’s
