gets great huge thrill
It was a great day for me. It was a huge thrill for me to be here and winning. It never gets old and it never gets easy.
good round turned
Those two putts turned a good round into a really good round.
both chance crazy matching needed shoot surprised today
Both D.A. and I thought if we could get to 21 or 22 under and shoot something crazy today we'd have a chance and we were doing what we needed to do. We were surprised Loren and Don were matching us and going even lower.
bogey boost front nice nine shoot starting
To shoot two-under on that front nine after starting off with a bogey like I did was a nice boost and kind of got me right there with the lead,
seems spectators
I'd like it to go back to no carts. It just seems right. It seems like if spectators can go out and walk, we can, too. It's part of the competition.
few last maybe played pressure problem putting thinking year
I'd been putting too much pressure on my putting thinking it was the problem where maybe it was just one of the problems, ... I've also put pressure on myself this year to play as well as I played the last few years. That probably had something to do with it.
expected four turned
No. 4 really turned things around. I never expected to make four there.
career condensed guess successful
I guess in a condensed version, I would say I think I've had a successful career but I'm not satisfied,
playing truth
I'm a little surprised, to tell you the truth. I hadn't been playing that well lately.
champions energy golf guess guys lost start year
I think I lost my golf energy. You can't come out here and go through the motions. These guys are too good. I guess I'm at a crossroads. Right now, I would say I'll play more on the Champions Tour. But if I start to play a little better at the end of the year ... I still like to do this.
chemistry team
I thought our team chemistry was really good, ... they just outplayed us.
drive edge felt gives hopefully next played renewed three top week weeks
It gives me renewed drive that hopefully I'll play well this week and next week and get into that top 30 for Sonoma, ... I felt if I played well these three weeks I could do it. I'm right there on the edge now and I can do it. If I don't I can have a week off.
bunker feet foot front great grounding guy hit hundred last leaf leaning picked playing sand seven shooting took
I was playing with this guy one time, and he was shooting a hundred and fifty, probably. We got to the last hole, and it took him about seven to get to a bunker on the green. Then he picked a leaf up right by his ball, in the bunker, which is a two-stroke penalty. Then he was leaning on his sand wedge in the bunker, grounding his club, so there's another two-stroke penalty, so he was 11. And then he hit that one about a foot in front of him in 12, and then he got that on to about 8 feet and made the putt. So he makes his putt, and I say, 'Joe, great putt. Is that a 4?' And he goes, 'Oh, no. Six.' It was really like a 14 or something.
blowing british davis green hal hard hit hitting hole impressed left love open playing practice round walking wind
I was playing a practice round with Davis Love at the British Open and Hal comes walking out to the 17th hole, the wind was blowing hard left to right, ... I hit a 4-iron to the green and Davis hit it on. When we got to the green, Davis said, 'You think Hal was impressed with that?' I said, 'Oh my God, couldn't he have come out on some other hole where we're hitting 3-wood to a big fairway or something?' We laughed.
