I got off to probably one of the best starts you could get, then hit it in the water and just stalled from there. I made a good up-and-down wedge to 5 feet, and then just nothing happened after that. I didn't struggle to make pars, and if I would have got a couple clubs correctly, I could have it close, but I didn't.
More Quotes from Ben Curtis:
Winning the British Open didn't protect Ben Curtis from golf's ups and downs. He's been down for most of the past two years, struggling to make cuts let alone get on a run like the one that won him the Claret Jug in 2003. Yesterday, though, he was up. Way up. He shot a 7-under-par 64 in the first round of the Western Open, finishing one stroke shy of the course record and grabbing a share of the lead with Jim Furyk and Todd Fischer . I'm still a long ways away from playing really good golf, ... It's coming, but I'd like to put four good rounds together instead of one or two. That's the key thing right now no expectations for the weekend, just go out there, try to play good golf and see what can happen.Ben Curtis
My father is openly gay. He really loved my mother, but their marriage fell apart. When they separated, he told me he was bisexual and unfortunately, I was 12 and trying to figure out my own sexuality. I was really upset and angry and took me a long time to get over it. Ive seen him suffer. Now were best friends, and hes seen Joy many times.

We know each other quite well. Our families get along well. When you play with somebody for the first time, you don't know how to react. I've played with Justin quite a few times and you know how he reacts and just go out there and just have fun.

When you win a tournament like that, actually any tournament, it doesn't matter there's added pressure on you. Every golfer goes through a rough time in their career, and I went through it the last year or so, but I'm going to try to work out of it and try to stay positive.
