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.
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,
asked dream players shock shocked tv watched win
I'm still in shock that I got asked to be in this thing, ... I've always watched it on TV and was shocked to be part of it. It's something that I didn't even dream of, actually. First of all, I didn't dream that I'd win the Players Championship.
birdie came conditions drive good hit skins wind
It came down to 18 and I didn't think with the wind and those conditions that I could get home, but I hit a really good drive and a really good three-wood to get it up there. I didn't think birdie would win it, but you just never know in the Skins Game.
bigger events guy home larry local unless winning
Being a local guy and this big a tournament, I think it's pretty neat. The only tournaments that would be bigger than this one is the majors, and usually they're not home events for anybody. Unless you're winning Augusta, I guess. Larry Mize winning there (in 1987) had to be pretty special.
air attitude highlight infectious remember walked window
It was a smoking-hot day, and they had one window air conditioner that couldn't keep up, ... At the time, he was still on his ventilator in his wheelchair. I remember introducing myself, and he had an infectious smile. He's such a good-looking kid. You go in there with the attitude that you're going to be the highlight of his day, and he was the highlight of my day. I walked out of there and said, 'I've got to do something for him.'
remembered skins skirt winning
Sometimes I think I'm better remembered for the Skins skirt than for winning the Players.
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.
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.
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.
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.
