cool crowd event guys hits nervous playing shot sitting tour won
Well, how cool is that? You're sitting here with two guys playing in a playoff, one guy has just stoned it. He's nervous. I know he's nervous -- he's never won a Tour event -- and he hits a shot and it hits the pin. The crowd went bananas. I mean, how could you not like that.
eight few guys harder last means played shows win
There were eight guys that played last year? That means 20 new guys? Wow. That just shows it's harder to win. And there are a few guys that aren't here that win a lot.
guy last popular
Theo has been a guy around here (who?s) as popular as anybody, especially after last year.
bad blend full guys looks mechanics nice pace putt routine worry
He looks comfortable over putts and to me, he doesn't take as long to putt as he does full shots. His routine is consistent. He's got a simple-looking stroke, with nice pace and flow, a blend of mechanics and pace. But I always think guys who putt well are more fearless. They don't worry about the three-putt or the bad putt. They don't take that with them.
guys lost
I don't know if it's a lost art, because I don't know if enough guys ever did it to make it an art.
angles courses driver everywhere few guys hit love
I love this place. It's one of the few courses that makes you think off the tee. Angles have a lot to do with it. Guys who like to hit driver everywhere are going to have trouble.

Well, this was really kind of out of the blue, ... I mean, Friday afternoon I was in my hotel room packing to go home because I thought even par would miss the cut. I actually bet Johnny Andrews (in the scoring trailer) $286.67 that I was going to miss, and I'll gladly pay him now.

I was pushing him, ... I have to say that. I don?t know that I had any influence in Davis? choice to play here.
accept change course fact golf good grown helped helps learn move people players popularity stays
Most of the players have grown to like the course more and more. I think it helps that we don't change locations. The Players has grown in popularity because it stays in Jacksonville. The fact the Players Championship doesn't move around has helped people accept the golf course. If you want to be a good player, you'd better learn to like it.
