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.
anxiety coming last nervous tall telling win
If I said I wasn't nervous coming down the last hole, I'd be telling a tall one. This win put some anxiety I had aside.
last
Try seven. I birdied the last two holes.
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.
few holes knew last needed strong today
I had my chances. I didn't have my putts on the last few holes and I am disappointed. I knew I needed to play strong today and didn't play well.
last left nine order putting
I'm not putting as well as I need to in order to overtake that 70 (Friday). I left a lot of putts out there, especially the last nine holes. It kind of tarnished that 66 a bit.
happen knew last lead saw three until
I really didn't know what was going on until I got to 16. Then I saw I had the lead with Bob. I knew something was going to happen in the last two or three holes.
belong kite playing putting stroke tom watch
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.
open throw win
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.
grown impressive kids known since
We've known all these kids since they were babies. It's impressive to see what they've grown up to become.
conditions difficult golf great memories seeing
That's too bad. I like the golf course. We're seeing it under some difficult conditions because of the greens, (but) I have great memories here.
