He found the perfect ball flight of a 4-iron that stopped a foot away on the par-3 fourth in the first round. The arc of his swing, he said, was perfect on two mammoth tee shots at the par-5 eighth.

"I thought one of the coolest shots I hit today — even though no one realizes this — is the shot I hit on 8," he said Sunday. "I had 103 yards and I hit a little 9-iron in there. I hit a draw in there, which is hard to do hitting it that soft, held it back up against the flag. That to me is where I'm trying to get to, the ability to hit shots like that on call."

That's where he is headed with the Masters only a month away.
