drew fun last start wonderful
Drew and I had a wonderful time. It was a fun way to start the week. Drew read my last two putts and we made them both.
few gotten hitting maybe months point seconds shave shots tried violation
We've tried to shave maybe 10 or 15 seconds off each shot, and we're pretty close, ... It's gotten to the point where I'm not in violation when I'm hitting shots like I probably would have been a few months ago.
body excited faster help instead playing process stuff
Right. Well, I think playing faster is going to help my game, because the more when I get up over a shot, and know what to do, and just let my body do it, instead of having all this stuff going through my head, and having to process it. That day's coming, and I'm excited about that.
head pulling seemed tend thoughts work
I'm doing something to try to override the thoughts that tend to get in my head and keep me from pulling the trigger. It seemed to work this week.
beyond casting dry either few fly legs listen love mountains past river rush side stand water winning
OK, let's see. I love to go to Montana, and stand in the river in my waders, and listen to the water rush past my legs as I'm casting a dry fly with mountains on either side of me. Beyond that, winning a few more tournaments would help.
david nice
It's not for me to say. David is a nice guy. We're all out here competing. I'm a player; not a coach.
coach thinking
That is pretty sweet, having a coach who is always thinking of you like that. He is a big part of my success.
head information takes time
They do. When you're working on things, the information takes some time to get from your head to your body. As I get more comfortable with the changes, things will get better.
course decent feet golf good greens hard hit places shot three wind
This golf course is as good and as hard as it gets. There were some places around the greens where you could hit a decent shot and wind up three feet off the green and really have no shot.
happy phenomenal played
It was awesome. I was very happy for him. I thought he played awesome, phenomenal golf. Like the world's best.
arch basically earlier found giving gotten hope huge hurting months playing stand took top year
Things have gotten a lot better. Earlier this year -- in February, right after the Hope -- I found out I would basically stand up and arch my back at the top of the swing. It prevented me from playing well, and was also giving me back problems. I was basically hurting myself with every swing. And I was making huge compensations. I had to take two months off, and it took months after that to get to playing well again.
agent ball hole knew week wish
My agent called me this week and told me that, and I said, 'You know, I wish the ball knew that, because it's not like it's going in the hole any easier.'
restaurant walk
To this day, the first thing I do when I walk into a restaurant is take off my cap.
allowed faster great obviously pace pick playing pull start trial trigger trying week
We've been trying to pick up the pace and start playing a little faster so we put something in place this week that's allowed me to pull the trigger a little faster. This was just kind of a trial week to see what would happen, and obviously it was a great result.
