nice playing tournament
It is nice playing in a tournament when you are one of the better players.
chance classic close complete control early game lucky middle nice played playing poorly steve win
It was the classic game of two halves. I was in complete control and Steve wasn't playing great. I had every chance to close it out nice and early but then I played poorly in the middle and then he was probably disappointed not to win being one up with two to play. Fortunately, I was the lucky one.
great playing start week
My expectations weren't that great at the start of this week because I haven't been playing very well over here,
buyers doubt leverage year
There is no doubt that buyers have more leverage than they did a year ago.
comment disagree offer refrain respect
Out of respect for our client, Mr. Cummings, we try to refrain from any comment on this situation. That being said, I will say that I disagree with that characterization. That offer was not made,
fly radar worry
It doesn't worry me that I fly under the radar over here,
middle stern
It is a pretty stern test, ... You have to keep it down the middle because of the rough.
nervous sure
I was nervous all day, but I'm not so sure it was because of Tiger, strangely,
I was as gutted as I have ever been.
touch wait
It's going to be touch and go. We will have to wait and see.
david five four good great nice strong win
David and I are good friends, so it should be nice out there tomorrow. This is a strong field, so it would be a great win if I can get it - but any one of four or five players, if they get hot, still has a chance.
ditch lucky played second shot suppose
It was a frustrating way to finish, but I was lucky my second shot bounced over the ditch so I suppose it evens out/I played really nicely.
stage standard
I was 5 under today. At this stage in the tournament, that's the standard where you need to be.
anywhere good kidding near shoot tiger
I'm not kidding myself that I'm anywhere near as good as Tiger but who knows? I've got to shoot another two 67s. It's in my own hands.
