defend event great happy high played start title
To come here with high expectations to defend a title is always tough, but I thought I played really well and I'm very happy about that. This is a great event to start out the season.
highest level score seem tough
I can't seem to make a putt, and it's just very, very tough to be level par. I think that's probably the highest score I could have for the way I'm playing.
chance happy high lose shooting start tournament win
You can never really win a tournament on the first day, but I feel sometimes there's a chance you can lose it by shooting a high score. So I'm very happy with this start. It was really the start I wanted.
best direction goals high love month rounds rude step today tournament win
When I come to a tournament I set really high goals and I come here to do the best I can. I don't know if I'm being rude if I win my own tournament, but I'm just a very competitive person and I love to do well. Today was a step in the right direction and one of my better rounds in about a month so I feel really good.
biggest chance game high notch pressure ready reasons top tournament
I think the biggest pressure comes from myself, I have very high expectations, ... I always feel like when I come to a tournament I want to be ready to play and that's one of the reasons I don't play as many events. I want my game to be top notch and I want every chance to win.
high last months percent prepare ruin today tournament
Today is probably 10 percent of the whole tournament. It's such a long way to go. I've got to be patient, If you prepare for months and months and set high goals, the last thing to do is come to a tournament and get in my own way. That would ruin it for myself.

I've been there before. You've just got to keep on grinding. I proved it again to myself that you just can never give up.

I've been hitting it beautifully, driving it good and hitting a lot of greens. But nothing seems to happen. I'm being optimistic, my game is there.
bit chance forward good great last looking needed practice quite vacation
I've been on vacation for two weeks. I feel very relaxed. I've had a chance to practice quite a bit the last two days. I needed a break, but now I feel good again, so I'm looking forward to a great week.
best certainly coming field forward great last looking memories mountain playing winning wonderful
They always have a great field in Phoenix. That's what makes it one of the best tournaments on the tour. I have some wonderful memories from playing in Phoenix, and certainly winning the last two at Superstition Mountain are included, so I'm looking forward to coming back.
focus particular player
The way I look at it is I have to play my own game. I can't focus on any particular player because there's too much to do on my own. I have enough on my plate.
