I wanted to get close to the pin without putting the bunker in play. All of a sudden he just kept talking about a straight shot. I don't know how many times you hit a straight shot in golf. It's very seldom. You either work it right to left or left to right, depending on the pin.
Well, it has been a long day, but I'm happy with my score. I thought I played some good golf today. And it seemed once I made a birdie, I kept going with it.
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.
It was a very, very exciting day, looking at the scoreboard. There was a lot of up and down, obviously. But we were persistent. We kept grinding and grinding and grinding.
We did not get off to a good start at all. We were really struggling. We kept telling ourselves, 'Let's keep fighting. We can do this.' We started making some birdies on the back nine and had an incredible finish.
a very exciting day and I am very proud of our team. We all kept grinding and grinding and it worked out great.
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.
In a situation like that, you have to focus on the things you can control. We just kept on grinding.
We don't voice our opinions the way they do. Hopefully, we can let our clubs do the talking.
I've never seen anything like it. The last time I saw crowds like this was the U.S. Open on a Sunday,
The spectators have been fantastic. It has been a really first-class event and I'm happy here.
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.
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.
