Q.  How’s it feel?

MO MARTIN:  It’s tender.  I can’t wait to take this off, and I’ve never played with anything on my fingers, and I’ve never had a sprain in a finger, so this is new for me. I’m hoping I’m going to recover quickly, but it’s still painful right now.  I just want to minimize the risk of injuring it further.

Q.  Bit of an up?and?down first round, but still solid score.

MO MARTIN:  Yeah, I’m happy with it.  It was the first time ?? well, I hit some shots in the pro am, but first time I hit a lot of shots out there, so just learning how this course reacts, where to land my shots and where the prevailing winds are, so just a lot to learn the subtleties here, but I’m happy with the way I played.

Q.  And we talked a bit beforehand about long hitter’s course, long hitter’s course.  Did you feel that to be the case today?

MO MARTIN:  You know, I saw Lexi up there, so I’m sure she made some birdies; and I don’t know, she probably didn’t have a 3?wood coming into 18.  But that played quite long, and the wind just got up here, so some of these long par?4s into the wind, they’re definitely playing long.
