We have a tougher field this year with Vijay and some of the other European stars, so it should be a fantastic week obviously.

I'm not trying to keep my cut streak alive. I'm simply trying to get back into the tournament. Making it to the weekend gives you half a chance.
shoot sneak weekend
If I can sneak something in the 60s over the weekend it will be very interesting. At least I know you don't have to go out and try to shoot something like 65 to try to win.
breaks five four golf july june needed next somewhere weeks
I don't take too many long breaks through the season. My next long break will probably be somewhere in June or July when I have two weeks off. For the next four or five months, it's a lot of golf with a week off here and there and a lot of traveling. So I needed to do that just to recharge.
forgets group mainstream media next nobody players previous quickly straight week
Am I surprised? Not really. The mainstream media forgets quickly from the previous week to the next week. That's how the whole world has gone. They keep saying, 'There's nobody challenging Tiger.' This group of players has been there for 25 straight majors.
