comfort events holes
I was more comfortable somehow in a European Tour setting. I have never really felt comfortable in the States and therefore I have never won a 72-hole event there.
golf holes should
That's great. They should put the hole in the fairway.
golf balls holes
I'm a great believer that if you don't get the ball to the hole, it won't go in.
came continued five four greens hit hole last playing second singapore week
I came here playing well, I was second in Singapore last week and I've continued to do so. If I hit the fairways and I hit the greens then all I have to do is hole four or five putts.
keeping matter playing
I know the place very well, and I'm playing well. It's just a matter of keeping going.
happier
I'm relaxed, my back is better than it's ever been and I have Alastair (MacLean) back on the bag. I am happy, actually, and it does help. I'm happier than I've ever been, on and off the course.
field
The field is bunched. I still say 4 or 5 under could win,
glad hurt prove surprised
I'm very hurt and very surprised (by Evans' comments) but I'm very glad I was able to go out and prove to myself and everyone else that I can still do this, and do what I do best.
golfer unique watching
We are watching here a unique golfer on a unique golf course.
I used to say two. I'm getting older.
start
I used to say I'm here to win. Now I say I'd like to win. But I have to start winning.
british coming enjoyed forward looked open past playing positive wind
I've never really enjoyed the wind in the past but I had looked forward to coming back and playing St Andrews after the positive British Open I had.
finish great happening
A three-three finish was great because nothing was happening much before,
dramatic five seven start tough
It was tough to start five behind, ... I said to myself if I could get two back in the first five, I could do this. I got two back after six, and seven was a dramatic change.
