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.
added goes golfer last pressure rough stay time tournament win work year
When you win a tournament like that, actually any tournament, it doesn't matter; there's added pressure on you. Every golfer goes through a rough time in their career, and I went through it the last year or so, but I'm going to try to work out of it and try to stay positive.
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.
golf
I like it. It's an old-style golf course.
along families few justin played quite somebody
We know each other quite well. Our families get along well. When you play with somebody for the first time, you don't know how to react. I've played with Justin quite a few times and you know how he reacts and just go out there and just have fun.
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.

I'm here to win and that's what I want to do,
feels good matter shoot time
I think any time you can shoot under par, it doesn't matter if it's 71 right now for me. It just feels good to go out there and shoot a good number.

We found an energy that a lot of people can appeal to, and if you don't hate it, you can laugh at it.
close days good hit swing though took
It was just one of those days where even though the swing didn't feel as good as it could have been, it was good enough to hit some close shots. When I had the wedges in my hand, I took advantage.
either good hard hit hung par shot stay struggled tough tried trying
It was just one of those things, and I just never could get comfortable with the shot I had. I was either trying to hit it too hard or too easy. It's just tough to get it close, but I hung in there and just tried to stay positive. The good thing was I just struggled to make a par or bogey.
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.
advance might miss three
You might miss three fairways the whole day, but you can't advance it more than 30 or 40 yards.
guys helping hit
It's only helping the guys that hit it a long ways.
