QUOTES OF THE DAY

“I don’t need to play a practice round out here. I know what’s going to happen around this place. I feel like this is one of those places that every time I play, it only frustrates me more.” William McGirt, who shot 67 in the first round. He won the Memorial last year and went up to Muirfield Village on Tuesday to help promote the event. “The last few years it’s beaten me up pretty good, so it’s nice to get off to a halfway decent start.” Phil Mickelson, who opened with a round of 70. His last victory was the 2013 British Open.
