The players have their say after round one of the US Open

A vicious thunder storm on Wednesday was supposed to have made the course easier but just two players are under-par. Get the quotes of the day as the players look fearfully towards Day Two.

?It was somewhat easier ? oops I shouldn?t say that to the USGA. No, it?s still frightfully difficult.?

Nick Dougherty

"Every time I was in the rough I made it look hard, but every time I was on the fairway I hit it pretty close to the hole."

Geoff Ogilvy

?It was annoying,?

Phil Mickelson

?I would love to have been under-par really.?

Luke Donald

?It?s as soft and receptive as you?re possibly going to get it and not too many people have taken to the golf course.?

Tiger Woods

?How I got it done? I had a good day on the greens and I chipped very well.?

Jose Maria Olazabal

"I was really happy they got me with Jose and Sergio."

Pablo Martin

?I have to say I have never felt so uncomfortable on a putting surface in my life. Doesn?t matter if you?re 10ft, 20ft, 50ft, they?re awful.?
