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.
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.
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.
bad february hit shot time
Every time I hit a bad shot in February I was thinking,
break reads
But, really, I don't plumb-bob a lot because I don't think it reads enough break into the putt.
sure
I'd like to try it. I could get used to it. I'm sure he's doing just fine.
bothering forward goal knee major meet next qualify strive surgery ultimate year
I am disappointed to have to end my season, but my knee has been bothering me for the better part of the year. My ultimate goal is to play in the major championships next year and to qualify for the 2006 Ryder Cup, and by having surgery now I can strive to meet this goal. I look forward to the 2006 season.
left money somebody
Money is an important part. There's a little consolidation, and when you've got consolidation, somebody is going to get left out.
fourth goes guess jump player round
My guess would be if a player makes it to the fourth round and it goes to Monday, no one's going to jump ship. That's payday.
believe golf thinking
Believe it or not, I'm not really thinking about anything when I putt....It's hard to teach. I let my instincts take over. I like to see which way the break is going and use it. When I'm putting well, I feel like I can make everything.
sports cheer golf
The golf swing is among the most stressful and unnatural acts in sports, short of cheering for the Yankees.
counting doctor fingers four hopeful months pushing
I was hopeful to be here. I was counting on my fingers what four months was, and my doctor told me that would be really pushing it.
