best buy driver good great holds iron maybe medium people player poor relatively saying tiger
People are always saying that Darren is an underachiever. He is a superb driver of the ball, maybe the best in the world. Tiger Woods, I know, would buy Darren's driving. He's a great long-iron player and a pretty good medium iron player. But he's a relatively poor wedge player. And that is what holds him back.
pay talking tower tv
He said, 'You do know which TV tower I was talking about, don't you? I said, 'Yeah, the one on the right.' And he said, 'No, it was the one on the left.' It was all my fault. I didn't really pay that much attention.

Hopefully we don't build our hopes up too much, because we don't want to do that,
ball chances drive four low shoot somebody sounds stays straight whether
If it stays soft, somebody could go low. If you drive the ball straight enough, you can shoot some low numbers. Whether you can do four of them or not, we'll see. I know that sounds very obvious, but there are chances out there.

Heather has been having problems and we are determined to get to the bottom of them as quickly as possible. It is a difficult time for all of us and I would ask that our privacy is respected.
european hard lost played playing possibly score worst
He played fantastically. A 64 was the worst score he could have possibly shot. I've lost a six-shot lead, at the 1999 European Open, but he's going to be hard to catch. He's playing unbelievably well.
benefit heather ill might playing
If Heather was ill or up and down, I might have to withdraw. I would only want to be playing if I was a benefit to the team,
four left nicely played three
I left three or four out there, but I played nicely again.
course enjoy golf plans week wrecked
I do enjoy the tournament, much more off the course than on the golf course in the past. Unfortunately, when I got off to that 65 on Thursday, my week was over. It wrecked my plans for the whole week.
win year
It's been a frustrating year where I haven't managed to win so it's great.
