compete course hit improved learned maybe
Maybe I feel like my game's improved and I feel like I can play this course and compete on this course. I've learned where to hit it, where not to hit it, to some extent. Just try to keep it out of those spots.
expect low phenomenal scores throughout
You expect low scores out here, but don't usually expect a 60. That's a phenomenal round. You can't really get too overwhelmed with the first round. You've just got to keep it up throughout the week.
hit
Even if you don't hit it a mile, you've got a chance.
course easy hit tough
(Thursday) was about as easy as you're probably going to get it and it wasn't very easy, you know. It's very tough out there, especially this afternoon. It's just a tough course to be able to hit it where you're looking.
bit few good last patient practicing refreshed stay
I didn't do much, started practicing a little bit the last few weeks, but didn't really play that much at all. That made it really good to come out here and be refreshed and stay patient during my round.
obviously
Obviously you want to play well in the majors. I think that's what I've been working toward.
compete goal
Obviously, your goal is to be able to compete in all the majors. I haven't done that as well as I'd like.
against definitely grinding player playing proud trophy wish
I wish they'd give the trophy away today, but they don't. It's definitely an accomplishment, and I'm proud of myself for grinding it out and playing so well against the No. 1 player in the world.
last since
Since last year, everything is going a lot better for me.
guys start
Obviously, those guys have a lot more experience. But I'd like to start somewhere.
guys major start
Obviously, those guys do have a lot more major experience, with the wins. But, you know, I'd like to start somewhere.
guys major obviously start winning
Obviously those guys do have a little more major experience, but I'd like to start somewhere. It's going to be tough, but I don't think winning any major is easy.
bad confidence happy hindsight looking months played second taking week year
Obviously, I was disappointed and not happy with the way I played on Sunday. Looking back at it, taking second the first week of the year after taking two months off, in hindsight it wasn't that bad of a week. More than anything, I got confidence out of it.
couple forward great hardest looking playing wind
Obviously, it's been the hardest course. I'm looking forward to playing it. If the wind is not blowing, you can make some birdies. In turn, if the wind is blowing, a couple under is a great score.
