I prefer walking, but then again, this course is very tough to walk.
I played four solid rounds of golf and I want to try to finish the season as hot as the way I started it (three wins in a row).
I play this game for myself, and I motivate myself and I have my own goals, and I think I know my limits. I know what I want to achieve. There are a lot of young players coming up, and they are very good. But I also love being in the spot that I'm in, so that keeps me motivated.
If I wouldn't have made any of them, it would be a totally different situation. On the other hand, I made them all. That just kept me going.
I had the chance to do something today that nobody else has done, so of course I felt some pressure all week, ... That is what motivates me. That is why I play this game. To come here and do something like this, it's just very gratifying.
I'm very happy with the way I played. I feel good about my game and I'm just happy that I was able to score. I wanted some good momentum and to leave here with some good spirits.
I'm very proud of the way I played and I played four solid rounds of golf,
In a situation like that, you have to focus on the things you can control. We just kept on grinding.
I'm happy to come out and be able to read some greens. Last week, I couldn't see a single thing. I would tell my caddie, 'I think it's left edge,' and he would say, 'No, I think it's on the right.' I really didn't know what to do. Here, I have a good feel, and it's nice to be back on the right track again.
I'm happy to be back in Ohio. This state has been very good to me. And my first impression is the course is a good one. You really can hit the ball well here, I think.
I'm happy to be back. I have great memories from this place. I won the championship twice, and last year's was obviously a great way. I remember playing really well and it was one of those weeks where everything went my way.
I'm happy with my day. I made a lot of birdies and I made an eagle. I did make a few mistakes.
I'm competitive and yeah, I was very disappointed in the way I played on Sunday. I played really good for three days and I made a few mistakes down the stretch. Of course I was disappointed in myself and wished things would have been a little different. This gives me a little bit more fire and maybe that's what I need for the rest of the season.
I'm as ready as I can be. I'm swinging really well, putting well. I'm looking forward to this week. I'm ready. It's now or never. We'll see how it goes. I feel good about it. We'll see what happens.
