It's hard work, ... I'm 2-down, I'm 1-up, I'm in a playoff and all of a sudden I've won.
It's a very interesting concept. It's totally something everybody is talking about. Hopefully, something good will happen.
It's been a long day. A very long day. But I'm very happy with my score. I thought I played some good golf.
It's great to get off to a good start, but I think it's also important to finish well.
They are getting a lot of attention. I think they're getting a lot more than I did. And maybe a generation before me. But this is a solid group. They've got strong games and they're really making some noise.
There were a lot of birdies to be made out there, but you've got to make them. It was the same thing for four days. I was hitting the ball really well. I'm happy with the way I'm playing. It's just a matter of time.
It's a great challenge. There's no doubt about it. I don't mind sharing the spotlight a little bit. Maybe I can practice under the radar and play under the radar.
I told my caddie, ?A few more rolls and it would have been a 2. I have never had a double eagle. That would have made my day for sure.
It's a little bit of a different situation than last year. But having said that, I'm in great shape for tomorrow. I'm happy with the way I'm playing. I'm hitting a lot of fairways and greens, and I'm putting well.
It puts a premium on ball-striking and it's going to put a premium on the short game. And that's what majors should do.
For me, it's important to play good at the end of the year,
It's only Thursday; I have three more days. I'm looking forward to it. I still feel good about my game. Today it was almost. It was very, very close, but not really it. And right now, I don't really know what I've got to do to make it a great one, maybe make a few putts, maybe hit a few drives.
It's obviously very satisfying. It's a big week for many reasons.
It's obviously going to be very, very hard and nobody has ever done it, ... I know that. But for me, that's kept me motivated. That's what keeps me motivated in the mornings, to have a huge challenge ahead of me. I just want to test myself to see if I can really do it.
