After firing a bogey-free, 7-under 65 to take the first-round lead at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Matt Every kept things real.
“It’s going to be alright either way," he said Thursday, "no matter what I shoot tomorrow."
A day later, after a disastrous 83 that dropped him from first to a likely MC at Arnie's Place, the two-time champion at Bay Hill struggled to keep that same perspective.
"Today was rough," Every told GolfChannel.com as he stood outside an essentially empty scoring area, a far cry from the scene less than 24 hours ago when Every was a hot commodity, even making a trip to the media center.
