What a start from Christiaan Bezuidenhout.#BMWPGA #RolexSeries pic.twitter.com/dZE1weH6t4
"I just spoke to my coach last week, and I just said everything is there. Everything with my game feels better than a year ago, but I'm not getting the scores or the results and stuff. I just keep on doing the right things, keep on doing the same things that obviously been working over the last year and stuff. So it's just a matter of staying patient out there."

"It was better than decent. That's a good score today to be honest with you. This golf course has a bit of teeth and this morning, we have had some sunny days and this morning, a bit darker and a bit more grey, and I felt like it was a little heavier and thicker with the rough in terms of the conditions. The start is pretty tricky around here, 1, 2 and 3.

"Point being, didn't feel like you rolled out of bed feeling like you played great golf. You had to work for your score today. I felt like the start of this golf course today 1, 2, 3, were playing pretty tough."
"So this gives me the option to focus on something positive for the remainder of the week."
