"It didn't feel like a great round early," Moore said. "I did get off to a nice start. I birdied 11, 12, 13, and then eagled 15. But it wasn't just perfect, perfectly sharp, hitting it right where I'm trying to every single time. "I was just hitting good, solid shots and converting. "Then on 18, I was seven under going into that hole, and I holed it out and bounced off the pin to about 40 feet. "That's when it was like, 'Oh, I guess I'm playing pretty good today'. "So it was at that point obviously I felt pretty good making the turn shooting 29. I was just trying to keep doing what I was doing. "That was just simply out it in the fairway, give myself chances with my wedge and nine-iron, and I knew I was going to convert some of those chances."
