DUBSDREAD Pro-spective

Absolutely, I like the course. It's an old-fashioned golf course, meaning it's tree-lined with well-bunkered fairways, and the greens are, as I said before, are really going to be the challenge for me this week. They're very undulating. You've got to place your ball in the right area on the green.

You know, there aren't too many golf courses that you come to that you just absolutely love the layout, and I want to play here every year. I thoroughly enjoy it.

I love this golf course. The holes look and fit my eye, and that's awfully nice when that can happen because you don't find too many golf courses that you feel that comfortable on, but this certainly is one for me.

I have always enjoyed coming to Cog Hill. I have had a lot of success here, have played well here as an amateur and again as a pro. I like the facility. I like the people here in Chicago. For some reason I have had a lot of success in the area.

I've always enjoyed this tournament, especially playing up here at Cog Hill. It's been a great golf course just to get to play, much less to play well on, so I'm excited to be back and excited to be back on track playing a little better.

Well, it certainly is a difficult course because the front of the greens are all guarded so you have to get the ball in the fairway to be able to put enough spin on it to get it stopped by the hole. So hitting a lot of fairways today was certainly a key to the round. Cog Hill in general requires to you maneuver the ball both ways which I like. The real challenge year in year out that I have noticed is that the wind swirls above the tree tops. And you might be isolated and not feel anything but as soon as the ball is hit, and goes up above the tree line, it gets hit by the wind. That seems to be the difficulty year in and year out.
