bad coming felt rookie shoot signed sit won year
It was my rookie year and I pretty much signed up for every tournament. After I won it, it was one of those things where you had to sit back and just think about it. I didn't want to come in here and just shoot 80. Obviously, I felt bad for not coming here.
bad maybe par stay swings
What I have to do is stay patient. You know you?re going to make some bad swings and, hopefully, you get away with par and maybe make a birdie.
bad close missed
I missed the fairway on No. 1 and was only able to get it up there close to the green. You can get some bad lies.
black both nice playing red
It would be nice to be playing with him and us both show up with red and black on.
feels good last low nine shoot
It feels good to go out there and shoot a good number, and it could have been really low today. But I didn't get anything going on the last nine holes.
four golf good instead key playing rounds together ways
I'm still a long ways away from playing really good golf. It's coming, but I'd like to put four good rounds together instead of one or two. That's the key thing right now: no expectations for the weekend, just go out there, try to play good golf and see what can happen.
win
I'm here to win and that's what I want to do,
appeal energy found hate laugh people
We found an energy that a lot of people can appeal to, and if you don't hate it, you can laugh at it.
golf good worried
Here I'm not worried about the cut, I just want to go out there and play good golf and try and get in contention.
champagne girlfriend led night played rest rose song turned wrote
I blindfolded my girlfriend at night and led her into the woods, where I had a blanket, rose petals, champagne and candles. I played a song I wrote for her, and the rest of the night turned out great.
huge
If we didn't have a huge multinational corporation on our backs, we'd be golden.
ball fun gradually hitting led swing worked
I gradually just worked on the swing and started hitting the ball better. That led to making some putts and that's been the key. It's just fun to go play again.
felt good start
I got off to a good start and just felt comfortable all day.
events guys shoot wish
I didn't want to come in here and just shoot 80-80, say, 'See you guys later,' ... It was just one of those unfortunate events that happened, that I wish I could be here. From now, I'll be here in the future.
