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.
complain good guys hitting playing scoring shots somebody
Somebody is always going to play good. The guys that complain are guys like me who aren't playing well, or not scoring well. You feel like you're hitting good shots and not getting rewarded. Right now, I feel like I'm not a good player. I shouldn't feel that way.
atmosphere caught cylinders goes guy help hitting jim mentally motivated playing pressure tiger
He really wanted to be Tiger's partner, and Tiger can't help but get motivated by that. Jim won't get caught up in the atmosphere or the pressure that goes with playing with him. You get Tiger a guy who is hitting on all cylinders mentally and won't get intimidated by that atmosphere, and that's a big plus.
against cup generate guys hanging hatred media phil playing stuff tiger together week
We play against guys we play with in the Ryder Cup week in and week out. We're all friends. Why the media want to generate any of this hatred - that's the problem. You even read stuff about Tiger and Phil disliking each other. How come they're always hanging together and playing ping-pong?
believe four good playing rounds truly
I'm not here just to walk two rounds or four rounds and just show up. I want to be able to be competitive, and I truly believe I can still be competitive when I'm playing well and feeling good.
course expect golf playing pride
There's a lot of pride out here. You don't expect this golf course to play that hard. It used to be that if you weren't playing well, you could always make some birdies. I've made two birdies all week.
best golfer playing
That's the best golfer in the world playing at his best.
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.
beat hate reading team
We just hate reading that we're not a team of togetherness, ... just because we get beat at the Ryder Cup.
beat cup hate mean people reading win
We want to win for each other. I hate reading that we're not a team. Just because we got beat at Ryder Cup doesn't mean we're not a team. But people read into it.
anyone best golf good watching
We were watching the best golf anyone is going to play -- 13 and 14 were as good as golf gets.
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.
cent given per tiger
I would have given 95 per cent that Tiger would have made that,
coast feeling figured good heading swing terrible west
I had a terrible West Coast swing but I've figured some things out and I'm feeling pretty good heading into this week.
