Davis III
suggested watch
We got to watch a lot of their match. We suggested that we go around them, but that didn't go over real well.
drives driving far half hit last playing practice remember rounds year
I remember playing practice rounds with him in 2000, and he'd hit these drives and you'd say, 'Wow, that is so far and so straight,' ... You never say that anymore. It was frightening playing with him then. In the last year and a half or so I'm driving it right with him.
driver feet hit
I hit driver and 1-iron to 20 feet and made eagle.
ahead ball bunch certainly confident feeling hit pressure stayed
I hit the ball in the fairway a bunch and that certainly helped. I'm feeling confident with the putter. Zach didn't put a whole lot of pressure on me, but he did play solid. I stayed just ahead of him.
contending feeling last physically progress
I haven't won, but I think I made a lot of progress physically last year. I got to feeling better and better and contending more and more.
course played
If you were in the fairway, the course played OK. And if you weren't, it played tough.
attention changing contested ending final format great people playoff product season
Changing the format is a great idea, having a new product is a great idea, and ending in a playoff is a great idea. We want a hotly contested final end of the season that grabs everyone's attention and people really want to watch.
ball birdie few four gets goes grind harder holes lower plays scores seem tournament unless weather
If you put the ball in the fairway, there's a few birdie holes out there. But it's a tournament where you know you're going to play four rounds, and you're going to grind it out. ... It's kind of like a mini-major. It plays very tough, and it gets harder as it goes along, and the scores don't seem to get too much lower unless it's weather related.
adds
I don't think it adds up to 7,400 yards. You've got 17 and 18 that are 1,200 yards, and 6 and 7 are 1,000 yards.
bunker good great hit iron pitch putt shots stay
I didn't hit enough good iron shots when I had to, and Geoff did. And when he didn't he hit a great pitch or bunker shot, or great putt to stay right in it.
apply knew patient
You have to be patient and keep grinding. I think I knew that in 2004. I just didn't apply it very well.
ball hitting
But I've been hitting the ball better and better every week.
best likely players
When you get all the best players in one place, it's more likely that they're going to win.
course easy forth hard hit switching wind
When the wind is switching back and forth a little bit, it's just hard to hit every fairway. That's the only way to make this course play easy - hit every fairway.
