came coming few four hit last loose poor putting shots three
Coming down the back nine, I just putted poorly. I hit a few loose shots on the back nine. It actually came down to just some very poor putting once again. The putting has been the nemesis over the last three or four months. It's getting to be a little frustrating, I suppose.
abandoned ball continue couple good hit last patient putter putting roll style tried
(Friday), the putter abandoned me early, and I never got it back. I went to a little different putting style. And I did roll the ball much better. I had more opportunities. I tried to be a little more patient and continue to hit good shots. Eventually, you're going to make a couple even if you don't putt well. That's what I did the last couple of holes.
certain golf hit sure time ultimate win
Every time I won, ... I wasn't sure what I could do. The ultimate shots, the ones you have to hit to win golf tournaments, were never certain with me.
above ball hit lie needed solid tight
It was a very comfortable distance. The lie was a little tight and the ball was above my feet. I needed to hit it solid and I hit it heavy.
ball coming days driving easier either eliminate few good green helps hitting last left missing perhaps seems short side silly sort
Overall, two very good days hitting the ball. It seems like I'm either doing things very, very well or doing some silly things, missing the green perhaps on the short side and driving the ball well out of play, missing some easier putts than one would think you would miss. At 7-under, I feel like I've left a few out there, but at the same time, coming in with two birdies on the last two holes, sort of helps eliminate some of that.

I hit a lot of very good golf shots this week. I'm not going to beat up my short game, but I had some putting difficulty. But I'm not complaining.

I played well this week. I hit a lot of very, very good golf shots. I relish the challenge of playing and going out at age 60 like I did when I was 50.
build hit room trying
I didn't hit it like I should have. Trying to play at the hole, yes, but you have to build in a little room for error, and I didn't build in enough.
above ball execute feet hit knew lie needed tight
I knew when I hit it that it wasn't enough. The lie was tight and the ball was above my feet I didn't execute it very well. I needed to hit it solidly but I hit it a little heavy.

As I look out here, ... having to watch Tom Kite with that putting stroke I think to myself ... why has he been playing the PGA Tour? Tom, look at that stroke. That's why you belong here!
ball best continue days improve strike
Probably one of the best ball-striking days I've had this year. If I continue to strike the ball like I did and improve my putting, I think I'll be right in there.

You don't win the U.S. Open by being lucky, throw it up there and hope. He's got credentials.
diving game highlights home might stuff
You always see on the highlights the home run. You might see the diving catch. You don't see the spectacular stuff, the stuff that really makes the game work. That's what we're missing.
