Aptitude starts with attitude.
I can honestly say in my entire career, I've never gone around a golf course and not mis-hit a shot, but today I never missed a shot. I hit every driver perfect, every iron perfect. I'm in awe of myself.
Happiness is a long walk with a putter.
I am a winner. I just didn't win today.
I'm disappointed, but I'm not going to run around like Dennis Rodman and head-butt somebody.
I knew today I could shoot myself out of the tournament and I didn't want to do that. I wanted to play consistent, steady golf. I've been doing that now for six rounds of golf going back to The Open, and in truth I'm looking forward to continuing it on.
I knew going into this stretch that it was going to be rigorous, and I had no idea how my body would react so quickly after surgery. In conference with my neurosurgeon and physical therapist, they both believe I simply played too much too soon.
