JASON TAYLOR: Thanks for joining us. You're currently 5-under and tied for the lead right now. Talk about your day today.

SHANSHAN FENG: I'm feeling very good now because it's my first time to play good on a first round. I had some good rounds this year, but not like the one I have on this first round, so I'm very happy now.

I had an eagle today and it's my second eagle of the year.

Q. What were the major things that went wrong on the bogeys?

SHANSHAN FENG: The second shot I hit 6-iron and I hit it too right. It was down the hill just by the trees. I had a very good chip to four feet and I missed the putt for the first hole.

On hole 6, third shot I used 10-iron and I didn't pay attention about the slope there, sloped right to left, so I put the ball too left. I had a very big uphill putt. I just 3-putted.

Q. Talk a little bit more about your eagle. What was the key shot there and what clubs did you use?

SHANSHAN FENG: I think three shots there were important. They're all important. The first shot I had a good drive. It gave me a good angle to get onto the green.

Second shot I had 3-wood and it went very straight, almost pin high, like 15 feet to the hole and I made the putt. So I think three shots are important.

Q. What do you have to do different tomorrow to try to keep that consistent pace?

SHANSHAN FENG: I think I have to work on my drive for a little bit, because sometimes I have some drives like a little off today. That's why I missed some bogey or something like that.

And I will work on my putting to get a better speed.
