I came to No. 16 knowing I had three holes, and I had to do something,
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.
It's only Thursday; I have three more days. I'm looking forward to it. I still feel good about my game. Today it was almost. It was very, very close, but not really it. And right now, I don't really know what I've got to do to make it a great one, maybe make a few putts, maybe hit a few drives.
I've had four weeks off, so I'm happy to be here. I'm ready to come back and play some tournaments. I am excited to get going again. I normally don't have four weeks off in the summer, but it just turned out to be that this year. I played in Europe three weeks and needed a long break.
It was good to recharge the batteries, but three weeks went by very quickly. I think a four-day tournament is really what it's all about. If you think about all the big tournaments that we play, all the majors, it's more of a true test - a four-day tournament.
I really don't feel a lot of pressure to perform the way I have the last three years. I just feel good about my game. I just want to come out, have a good time and get a little better here and there.
I have three more days. I feel good about my game.
I'm competitive and yeah, I was very disappointed in the way I played on Sunday. I played really good for three days and I made a few mistakes down the stretch. Of course I was disappointed in myself and wished things would have been a little different. This gives me a little bit more fire and maybe that's what I need for the rest of the season.
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.
