From the Olympian "It was good. I think I started off a little dodgy the first few holes, couldn't get my rhythm going early. But then I settled down nicely. I think I played pretty good. I probably feel like I could have taken some more chances, some opportunities on the back nine. I didn't make as many birdies as I could have. But I'm playing well, so I have to build on this and as you can see already there's a lot of opportunities if it keeps playing like this, soft, there's not much rain today, then you have to go out there and just really be aggressive and make a lot of putts.” - Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri |
