I got to know the lines on the golf course. You know where you're hitting the ball, you know where the trouble is, trying to keep it away from it. So I'm starting to feel a little bit more comfortable with it and hopefully I can keep it going the next couple of days.
If I play more golf and feel competitive, it's going to be on the regular tour. I don't see myself adjusting my schedule for senior tournament golf.
I feel for Ernie. He knows what he needs. But he's got to slow down, because this running all around the world has caught up to him. Not his golf game, it's just his head. It tires you out. It's just tough.
Destiny wasn't going to let me win that golf tournament. It wasn't going to happen.
Jason emerged out of nowhere and gave the golf world a welcome breath of fresh air. His personality and pure enjoyment of the game are just tremendous. He is a person that represents the true spirit of the Shootout and will be a welcome addition to this elite, 24-person field.
I would say with the technology we have today, with the equipment, if you put that in Jack Nicklaus ' hands, he'd be a superior golfer than Tiger Woods .
I mean, I can actually say goodbye to the game of golf, never hit another golf shot the rest of my life and I'd be happy because I can get back in life without any rotation.
I screwed up. It's all on me. I know that...All these hiccups I have, they must be for a reason. All this is just a test. I just don't know what the test is yet.
Being away for the weekends, and me being the international player that I have been for those 30 years, I've spent a lot more time flying around the world, playing different golf tournaments around the world.
The game of golf doesn't come rushing back to you. Last week I made a couple of fundamental mistakes that I probably wouldn't have made in the heat of the battle back when I was in my heyday, and those things have got to come back.
So my game is solid. So that obviously makes me feel confident, that like anybody else in this field, you name them, I feel like I've got the ability to win the golf tournament just as much as they have, and that's the way I'm going to take it.
If I had won...all those other championships, my life might be totally different, but I didn't win. It's not going to affect my life.
I don't see myself playing or adjusting my schedule for senior tournament golf.
We've got to abide by the rules. We have to protect it. The game of golf at a professional level is so clean. We are our own judge, jury and executioner. If we don't do what we think is right, the game might get away from us.
