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.
add analyzed ball bit came conclusion ended figure happened happy hit last quite trying week
I've analyzed last week quite a bit trying to figure out what happened and pretty much what really didn't happen. I just came to the conclusion that I tried, but things just didn't add up. I was pretty happy with the way I hit the ball and pretty happy the way I was putting. I just wasn't happy with where I ended up.
few good greens last played quite
I thought I played quite well today. I got off to a really good start. I'm a little disappointed in the end when it was getting so dark. I couldn't really read the greens for the last few holes.
compared course difficult finish promising quite
To finish birdie-birdie on this course -- two difficult holes -- was promising for tomorrow. Compared to yesterday, this was quite an improvement.
course doubt endurance few glad good last quite
Obviously, endurance is going to play a role, there's no doubt about it. It's a hilly course and you've got to be in good shape, especially if the temperatures are up there. If we get the humidity, it could be quite tough. Having said that, I'm glad that I've been working out the last few years.
absolutely focused game quite stay views
This is quite a place. The views are absolutely spectacular. You got to try and stay focused on your game and not look too much at the views.
either good green hit hitting hole puts quite sure surrounded trying variety
I think it puts a little variety into the hole. It's a good hole either way. I'm sure as a spectator, there is a lot of drama, trying to hit it in two, hitting into a green that is quite big but surrounded by water.
definitely fruit hard healthy players quite sign starting state tour
I think the tour has been in a healthy state for quite some time. And now you're starting to see the fruit from all the hard work. The up-and-coming players are definitely a sign of that.
hit playing quite somewhere stop wide
Today, I was playing very aggressive. The fairways are quite wide and it's also very wet. You don't get a lot of roll. You hit it somewhere and know it's going to stop there.
consistent felt golf good hit mind played quite shot stay time
I just try to mind my own game, hit one shot at a time and kind of stay in the present. I felt she played pretty good today. it was quite some good golf I thought in the group, very consistent throughout.
finish four last looking playing quite start straight sun tough
The last four holes, we were playing straight into the sun and straight into the wind. I was looking at the clock, hoping, wondering, 'Can we finish today?' It would have been quite a tough day (Sunday) if we couldn't finish, have to get up early, finish and then start over.
clubs opinions voice
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.
