I am happier on the course. I am happier off the course. Obviously that's a good balance to have.
Obviously in Michelle's case, she didn't get off to the start she wanted, ... I saw Maria in front was making some mistakes, it was one of those days where you just really had to survive.
Obviously I'm very happy with my position. It was good steady golf, hitting a lot of fairways and greens and I'm putting very well.
Obviously I'm in a position that I want to be. I like this golf course. I had a good (round) last year on Sunday. I'm going to keep that in my mind.
Obviously the course was playing very different from the practice round. The par-fives you can reach in two all of a sudden you're having trouble reaching in three.
Obviously I am very happy about my round today. Yesterday I was a little frustrated. I thought I hit the ball really well and I had a lot of opportunities. Today I do not feel like I left that many out there. I feel good about how I put my score together. I feel I hit the ball well and had a lot of opportunities and converted most of them.
It's obviously very satisfying. It's a big week for many reasons.
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's something that comes throughout the season, ... The first time I obviously wanted to be player of the year, then I said let's see if I can do it again. This year I was totally focused on majors, thinking if I won all four majors, I could become player of the year.
This is one of greatest things I've done in my career, ... I felt pressure all week but I tried to stay aggressive. Obviously I feel great.
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.
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.
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,
