everybody fans good great hit hitting knows loud others quiet shots whenever
It was a great group. They hit some good shots and we just had a good time. The fans were great. ... Everybody knows what's going on, so they are quiet whenever I'm hitting and then whenever the others are hitting or entertaining (the fans), it can get loud at times.
bad couple definitely everybody felt golf hitting instead last miss nervous playing relax special time worried worry wrong
It's such a special place. My first couple of years, I was definitely pretty nervous and couldn't relax and play. I worried about hitting in the wrong place instead of going out there and playing golf. I felt like the last couple of years I've been able to play golf and not worry so much about hitting bad shots, because everybody is going to miss it in the wrong place some time or another.
ball control difference drove easier felt hitting pressure spin takes
I felt like I drove the ball well, which takes a lot of pressure off everything. It makes it a lot easier when you're hitting out of the fairway and you can control the spin a lot better on your irons. That made a difference for me today.
good lead standing tee
When you've got a 3-up lead through 10, that's a pretty good lead. Standing on the 13th tee only being 1 up, you're pretty disappointed.
beating definitely match number player proud
Match play is crazy. That's definitely a big accomplishment, beating the number one player in the world. I'm proud of myself right now.
honest ready
I was getting ready to go to No. 1, to be honest with you. You know, he makes so many of those, and it's just amazing. You always see it.
birdie key knock
I think that's key in this tournament. A lot of them, you knock it on in two...and I've been able to make birdie on most of them.
calm follow nice wind
I was able to follow in his footsteps. It was nice to see the wind calm down so we could make some birdies.
follow
I was able to follow in his footsteps.
fellow honor looked players pressure took
I thought it was an honor that fellow players looked at me that way. I don't think I really put too much more pressure on myself. I just took it as a compliment.
experience start
Sure, they've got a little more experience at this than I do. But you've got to start somewhere.
handle mental run tough walking
Sure, it's going to be a long day, but I think it will be more mental than physical. We don't have to run around there tomorrow. So, while it's going to be tough walking around this course, we'll handle it.
bunker hit middle next putt saved
The 6-iron I hit out of the bunker was what saved the whole day. To be able to hit that shot, make the putt and go to the next hole, hit it right down the middle and make a birdie, two birdies in a row.
athletes beginning problem younger
I wasn't there at the beginning of the year, but I think the problem here is that we have to get athletes to come out and play. We've been shorthanded and had to play the younger kids.
