Each week, we'll ask one of the four PGA TOUR players in the Citi Mentor program a question about his game, his career, his life, etc. This week, Derek Fathauer gets the Pop Quiz treatment.

Outlook adjustment?

QUESTION: You said at the beginning of this year that it was important to have fun and just let it all hang out since you had nothing to lose. Now that you've got some TOUR rounds under your belt, do you still feel that way?

FATHAUER: I'm trying to keep to that philosophy, for sure. It's important that I don't put too much pressure on any one shot, one round or one week. If I start doing that, my game will go sideways in a hurry. I think I've done a pretty good job staying relaxed out there.
