Retief Goosen Round Quotations

Obviously, that bad round hasn't affected his game. It shows you he's got a good mental attitude, and that's what you need in this game.

Obviously there's a long way to go still but I'm very happy to start off like this. You can't win the tournament in the first round so I'm just going to keep playing well and see what happens.

The wind has been blowing differently and the par fives played easy as it was blowing downwind today. You can't win a tournament in the first round so I'll just hope to keep playing well,

People are telling Ernie to travel less because he is tiring himself out. I hope he doesn't listen to that nonsense. I used to travel round the world with six children, no jet, and it was 30 hours from Johannesburg to America. Ernie's got a bed on his plane, for goodness sake. It's all in the mind.

I holed a few putts like the one at the ninth. But overall the round was pretty much just down the fairway, on the green and two putts.
