Rickie Fowler reacts after his first round two-under-par 68 on Thursday (28th July) of the US PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Rickie Fowler:

"It says I've got a chance. Obviously those guys played well to do what they did. I mean, everyone that's in the field, obviously teeing it up to go win. I'm
here for the same reason. I like my chances. I've been swinging well and heading in the right direction. Nice to get off to a solid start here. Anything can happen this week."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Rickie Fowler:

"Well, I mean, yeah, for sure. You never want to go out the first round and put yourself behind the eight ball. Obviously you can't win. I mean, it's said a lot you can't win a tournament on Thursday but you can lose it. You can take yourself out of the tournament and make it tough to make a cut or be around to keep going. Getting off to a solid start is definitely nice, making some good swings, making some birdies, especially in majors."
