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.
birdie certainly hole looked round turned walk
I won't say it turned my round around, but it certainly helped. It never really looked like I was going to make a 4 on that hole at any point, but to walk away with a birdie was great.
again excitement felt few holes last line means three tied tournament week
Last week was great, I can't tell you what that means to me, ... Just the excitement I felt and to want to play well again and to do it with the tournament on the line with being tied with Dana with a few holes to play, and to make three birdies in the last three holes, that was pretty gratifying.
bad except four good hit holes nice nine shots stretch unhappy
I hit a lot of good shots out there today. I had a nice stretch of holes between 10 and 17. It was a good back nine except the bad seven-iron on the 18th. I can't be unhappy with four under though.
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.
