Q. Taylor, can you take us through your round today as you sit T-2 in the clubhouse?
TAYLOR MONTGOMERY: Yeah. Happy with the way that I scored. The wind made it to where I wanted to bring out like that bad swing that I have. I did a good job of getting away with a few out there, tee balls and stuff. The fairways, some of them are wide, but if you miss 'em, not very good. I'm just happy with the way that I played. I putted really good. Yeah, hopefully put three more of those together.
Q. How does playing back in Vegas with it being more of a desert and being here in Cabo, the desert, how do they help in your game being able to kind of play in the same scenery?
TAYLOR MONTGOMERY: Yeah, that's what makes this property at Diamante so cool is you have a dunes course, the desert course that we're playing now, and then here in a couple years you'll have a lakes course. Being back home, there's a lot of desert golf and it kind of fits my eye, I guess. I'm just used to looking at the desert a lot.
Q. And the wind, how much did it impact your round today?
TAYLOR MONTGOMERY: The wind is very tricky. I think it's changed the course a lot from last year just, I mean, it's only -- it's a little bit different to where the front nine, like holes like 8 and 6, they're playing so much longer than they did last year. I remember last year being able to get to No. 6 in two and then this year I've been like driver, 3-wood, like sand wedge or like even pitching wedge today. It's been different. It can change this place dramatically.
Q. Do you change anything about your game heading into tomorrow?
TAYLOR MONTGOMERY: Not really. I'll just try to work on what I've been trying to work on in my swing, hopefully continue to hit it in the fairway.
Q. You're the most knowledgeable probably of this property (inaudible) wind picks up this afternoon even more?
TAYLOR MONTGOMERY: If the wind picks up in the afternoon, I think like a 3 or 4 under would be a very, very good score. There's just, there's a few holes that are really tricky with the wind. Like you get these uphill tee shots and the wind's left to right and your ball doesn't roll even though you want to hit it low. It just makes 'em play really long. I hope the wind blows pretty hard this afternoon for the guys, you know. Keep 'em cool, it can get hot out there, too.
Q. A busy season in the fall. Have you been able to get out to this course at all this year?
TAYLOR MONTGOMERY: Yeah, the last time I was here was last year. I need to come out more. I mean, Ken does a great job out here and I love it here. It feels like a second home.
Q. And who do you have joining you this week in your house?
TAYLOR MONTGOMERY: Parents, my sister, my fiancee and then whoever wants to come over and check out the sweet place that we're at. (Laughs.)
