british cup experience goal last playing presidents team year
After the experience of playing on the Presidents Cup team last year, my only goal this year was to make the Ryder Cup team. For me, it was more important to play in the Ryder Cup than the British Open.
birdie coming last late lost paid shots sudden thinking tried
It was one of those things where you are thinking you have to do more than you have to coming down the back nine. I tried some shots a little too aggressively and paid the price, made some bogeys. All of a sudden I lost the lead. I did birdie the last two holes, but it was too late at that point.
obtain obtained pinch realize
This is cool. I really do pinch myself to realize where I've come from. To obtain some of the things I have obtained out here is pretty cool.
I'm from the (Washington, D.C.) area, so I'll be the homeboy for the week, Got Rings?
advantage couple good missed took
I had some opportunities that I took advantage of, but missed a couple and made a couple of really good saves.
I'll be the homeboy for the week, ... That will be exciting.
pink skirt
I've got a pretty pink skirt for you,
coming compared course flew looked looks playing
We flew over coming in, and you could see just how sparse it looked compared to what it used to look like. But the playing part of the course still looks the same.
break bunch difficult hit hole saw tiger trying
Again, timing's everything, ... It was very difficult to make putts. You saw a lot of putts go right up to the hole and break off. Freddie and Tiger hit a bunch like that. It's just difficult trying to read these things and you don't know where they go.
remembered skins skirt winning
Sometimes I think I'm better remembered for the Skins skirt than for winning the Players.
care exposure himself money putting sells tiger tournament
You're getting too many tournaments that are putting up a boatload of money and then not getting the exposure they feel they need to get and don't get Tiger Woods. That's the only one they really care about. Tiger just sells the tournament by himself if he's there.
again bigger honor jack team
It was an honor that I thought was even bigger than making the team on your own, ... for him to think enough of me to be on the team. Just to come out and play for Jack again is pretty neat.
cent given per tiger
I would have given 95 per cent that Tiger would have made that,
figure great head hit looks took worked
I don't know why it took so long to figure out. It looks great right now -- you hit yourself in the head and say, Why didn't we think of this before?' It really worked out well.
