May received an exemption into last year's event and justified it by placing 16th. I hit all 18 greens, so I can't complain. May shot his low round on the Desert Inn, which generally is regarded as the toughest of the three courses. May said he wasn't sure it was an advantage for him to have the Desert Inn out of the way with a good number, even though he has Las Vegas Country Club to come on Friday.
Golf is a funny game.
Some days you shoot low on a real hard course and some days you go to a course you should burn up and you don't play particularly well. You have to take each day as it comes and take advantage of what you have that day. May took advantage of pretty much everything on Wednesday. He contends it is a misleading statistic. He said he missed the fairway by a wide margin only once.
