“It’s always nice when you come back to defend a title to put in a good showing. It’s great to be up near the top of the leaderboard, even though it’s early days, and it’s even nicer to be playing well.
“I left a few shots out there but I’m still very happy with the score. I’m a bit surprised the scoring in general isn’t a little lower than it is.
“In our group, we must’ve made at least 25 birdies between us, and in some ways we fed off each other. A lot of times we made similar sorts of birdies on the same holes, which definitely helps you to keep your own momentum going.”
