Q. Matt, great playing, back-to-back 65s. What was working so well out there for you today?:
MATT KUCHAR: Good steady golf. I left for this trip kind of saying to my family I'm excited about the week, my game's in good form, I'm looking forward to getting down to Cabo and hopefully playing some good golf. Never know. I've certainly said that before and it's not gone quite as planned. Golf is a fickle creature.
But I've been feeling good for a while about the state of my game. I feel like the work I put in with Chris O'Connell, he's got me in a direction where I feel really comfortable knowing and feeling like I have some ownership of what I'm doing. Nice when it's continued. Like I said, when I left I was feeling good, excited about coming and it's turned out to kind of be holding true.
Q. What was the highlight of the day?:
MATT KUCHAR: I don't know. It was a lot of good steady golf. It was nice that -- the 12th hole is a difficult green, hit just a 9-iron in, but nice approach shot, my third hole of the day to get going with a birdie there.
It was just steady golf. I felt good over the driver. It's a thing, these fairways are forgiving, but if you do miss it's big trouble. You want to make sure you're in these fairways. Even though they're pretty wide, pretty forgiving, if you do get off, there are big numbers to be had.
Q. Matt, different venue obviously, but you've had some success playing in this tournament and playing in Mexico. What is it about the vibes out here that brings out the best in your game?:
MATT KUCHAR: It's got to be in the water, right? Mexican water. I don't know. The people are great. I don't know if there's anything to it. I always enjoy my time coming kind of south of the border. This certainly has started off to be a great week here.
