Loren Roberts Round Quotations

I started out pretty good. But that fifth hole is one of the hard ones and I made a poor swing and hit a flare into the lake. I wasn't that upset. It was early in the round and could still make some birdies.

Except for a couple of blips in the middle of my round (at Nos. 9 and 10), my day went well. The golf course is in excellent condition. Certainly, I felt it was an advantage to have played at the Sony last week. I love playing there because it's in Hawaii. I think it's an advantage a little bit just to have an extra week under your belt. But the courses are totally different.

I hit the ball very solid today, especially on the front nine and got off to a good start. It's nice to get a good round in early because you never know what the weather is going to do here.

It was a good par on 16 and 17 was key. I got to make that putt to even have a chance. Those putts on 17 and 18 were the two best putts I hit all week and they came at the right time. I'm delighted with the way I finished. I finally finished a round off.
