Q: Sixty-seven, 5-under par -- what's your reaction to that round?
TIGER WOODS: Well, I got it around today. It wasn't my best ball-striking round today, for sure, but made some putt,s which was nice, and just managed my game well. That was about it.
Q: You always talk about that ability to cure things on the course -- it's been one of the most satisfying aspects to your game -- but were you calling on that today?
TIGER WOODS: I was a bit frustrated today, because I kind of had a two-way miss going today a little bit. That's not always a fun thing when you have a two-way miss.
Q: What about playing in China? Is it a unique experience?
TIGER WOODS: No doubt. There's certainly a lot of people out there. There was a lot of people moving and things. We had to stay pretty focused. The marshals did a good job of helping us out and giving us an opportunity to play.
Q: Do you feel like sometimes that gives you an advantage, because you almost uniquely have to deal with that more than any other player?
TIGER WOODS: Well, I think it's a disadvantage here, because there are so many people with cameras here. The other groups probably don't have to deal with it as much as we do. But as I say, the marshals did a great job helping us out, and security. It was awfully nice of them to work that hard to help us out.
Q: The cameras at the downswing, were you expecting that?
TIGER WOODS: The guy in the grandstand basically did almost a photo sequence. I flinched on it, and I hit it straight to the right.
Q: And did it get better after that?
TIGER WOODS: Not for about the first six or seven holes, no. But after that, yeah.
A lot of times when we play overseas, it kind of gets that way, and you know what you have to expect.
