appearance coach combine eight fitness golf months name people school seven swing training work
It's going to be a golf school for about seven or eight months of the year. We're going to combine golf training with fitness. It's going to have my name on it, but the people that come here, they are going to be able to work with my swing coach and my fitness coach and once in a while I will make an appearance and play some golf as well.
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.
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.
felt hard months paid particular prepared pressure short weight word
I prepared for 3 1/2 months for that, which was a lot of weight training, a lot of fine-tuning on my swing, a lot of hard word on my short game. I wouldn't say it paid off that particular week, but it paid off down the road, for sure. I think being in the limelight, with the pressure I felt on the first tee, it was just enormous.
last mistakes month walking
I had a lot of chances. I'm just not converting anything and when you don't, then you're making mistakes and walking away with bogey. So it's very frustrating and that's kind of how I feel like it's been the last month or so.

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.
driving game good hitting seems
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.
far season
The season is far from over for me and for some other players,
