After what had been a solid run through the first 13 holes in round one of the Mitsui Sumitomo Visa Taiheiyo tournament, Brendan dropped four shots in the last five holes, three of those coming from three putt greens.

"I felt like I had played well early and my overall stats for the round were good but the late stumble was disappointing," said Brendan soon after his round. "My putting was very ordinary however, I think I had 35 putts and that is never going to get the job done."

"At least the rest of my game feels ok so hopefullly with a better day on the greens tomorrow I can make some progress."
