I really did not play very well today unfortunately, ... I hit a few bad shots and it was a tough day at the office really.
If you think about it, the golf ball doesn't know which country you're in.
I know the young ones are going to take over eventually, there is no doubt about it. I love the position I'm in, and I'm not going to let it go too easily.
I know where I'm at on the money list. I'm here to reach my own goals, play my own game.
I'm looking forward to returning to Hamilton Farm to try to improve on last year's performance. A match-play event brings great variety to the schedule.
The eagle on 14 was crucial. We struggled a bit on the back nine and the momentum certainly swung our way again with that eagle.
The course is playing a lot longer today and the wind is difficult to judge, but on the other hand I didn't make a single putt,
The first time I saw (the 10 under) was on my sixth hole when I saw she was 10 under. I actually had to look twice. I thought she was on the 10th hole. What can I say, it was a fantastic round. This golf course is not easy.
This is a great start to the season. I've got good memories. I'm happy to be back here and I don't feel any extra pressure.
This is a great event to start out the season. I got off to a great start and I'm obviously very, very happy about that.
The last four holes, we were playing straight into the sun and straight into the wind. I was looking at the clock, hoping, wondering, 'Can we finish today?' It would have been quite a tough day (Sunday) if we couldn't finish, have to get up early, finish and then start over.
You can play 'steady Eddie', which is normally my game, but I've got to make some birdies this week.
The key for her is just to come out, enjoy it, absorb the atmosphere. It's a fantastic place to be. I told her, 'Enjoy this week. This is what this is all about.' It's more about being part of the whole thing and just being able to fulfill a dream. It's pretty cool.
I love this type of stuff because I love being around the guys.
