bad february hit shot time
Every time I hit a bad shot in February I was thinking,
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.
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.
absolutely draw hit hitter hitting line players shape
I like that you have to shape shots. For instance, on the par-5 second, you absolutely have to hit a draw if you hit driver. A long hitter hitting it off line is not going to do very well at the Players Championship.
great green hitting island nervous second shot tee
It's a great finish. As a player, there aren't many times when you get more nervous than hitting that second shot into 16, hitting to that island green on 17 and hitting that tee shot on 18.
backed bottom hit
It's soaking wet, and he hit it down the fairway at the bottom of the hill. And it backed up.
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.
