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.
cent given per tiger
I would have given 95 per cent that Tiger would have made that,
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?
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.
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.
air played tiger yards
I played the Buick at Flint with Tiger and he was air mailing me 50 to 60 yards every shot.
event few field gets guys himself normally point putter rare roll seldom separate tiger tour
I'd say normally any TOUR event is close. It's very rare that any of them are runaways. The guys are pretty evenly locked. It's very seldom a guy gets on a roll with his putter to the point where he can really separate himself from the field like Tiger (Woods) has done a few times and Ernie did here, and Duval.
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.
remembered skins skirt winning
Sometimes I think I'm better remembered for the Skins skirt than for winning the Players.
difficult green hole walk
That's the only hole that's overdone. It was difficult before. Now you walk off the green with a 3 and feel like you stole something, and it shouldn't be that way.
age biggest care work
I work at it really hard, ... I try to take care of myself. I'm focused. I want to play. I think that's the biggest difference. Age doesn't really matter.
good grand hoping win
I was hoping he'd win because I would've been part of history, part of the Grand Slam, and he's a good friend,
level life talent timing
You just never know where life is going to take you, you never know where your talent level is going to be and timing is everything.
invited shock
I'm still in shock that I was invited to be in this thing,
