It was tough out there for sure, but I hit a lot of really good shots and a lot of good putts.'Started making a bunch of like 12- to 15-footers. That's always good.'Ariya, who won the event at Calgary in 2016, reeled off three birdies in a row starting at the par-5 14th then made back-to-back bogeys.
