bit playing
There's more to us than just playing golf. I think it brightens it up and makes it a bit fun.
bit guys playing somebody wearing white
Do you want to see guys wearing khakis and white shirts? Or do you want to see somebody a little bit different? There's more to us than just playing golf. I think it brightens it up and makes it a bit of fun.
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.

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,

I'm hitting it nicely and I'll try to keep it going. There are a lot of people who want to win this a lot more than I do. I would love to do it myself, but it's not that important.

lack party scoring week
Lack of beer, if you want to know the truth. Usually, this week for me is a party week, but the scoring is getting in the way.

I wish I could repeat it a little more often.

Usually, par for me on Thursday here is 82.

It's been a frustrating year where I haven't managed to win so it's great.

I left three or four out there, but I played nicely again.
