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.
I finished good down the stretch today as I did Thursday. I must say I played well today, I couldn't really get it going at all. I had three three-putts, but it's funny because I feel like I'm putting well.
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.
It's a little bit of a different situation than last year. But having said that, I'm in great shape for tomorrow. I'm happy with the way I'm playing. I'm hitting a lot of fairways and greens, and I'm putting well.
I'm as ready as I can be. I'm swinging really well, putting well. I'm looking forward to this week. I'm ready. It's now or never. We'll see how it goes. I feel good about it. We'll see what happens.
My caddie told me not to get too cute. He told me, 'Just get it on the green. You're putting well.' That's what I did.
I felt really good about my game, but you never know until you come out here and start putting your score together.
I'm very competitive. I'd do anything to beat them all.
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.
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.
The atmosphere is there, and the talk is there, and now we have to just play. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. We don't voice our opinions the way they do. Hopefully we can let our clubs do the talking.
It was horrible, no fun at all. It was a really tough day -- it was windy, rainy and cold. I just wanted to finish and have a cup of coffee in the clubhouse.
