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.
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.
champions guys last leg maybe none tour
None of the other guys played. The Champions Tour was off last week, so maybe we had a leg up there, just being in competition.
bit driving giving last putting
It's a little bit of a continuation from last week. I'm putting well now and I'm giving myself a lot of chances. I'm driving it well, too.
arnold events great guess last love owe palmer plays time whatever
All of us feel he can do whatever he wants, ... He can play no events; he can play every event. We all love to see him. We owe so much to him. I guess I don't think, 'This could be the last time Arnold Palmer plays golf,' because I don't think that's all Arnold is about. I don't think he's just about golf. He's Arnold Palmer. He's a great man.
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.
clutch driver drives felt help hit last seemed switched week win
I switched to a new driver last week and that really seemed to help me. I really felt comfortable and hit some clutch drives down the stretch. I made a lot of putts too and you have to do that to win out here.
character course cushion figured hard hope last par played wind year
The course at Savannah is more wide-open, but it has a lot of character to it. Last year it played so hard because of the wind on the weekend. And the 18th hole, I still haven't figured out how to make a par on that hole, so if I'm doing well, I hope I have a little cushion on that last day.
absolutely against champions competing course everybody golfers good last late success tour
The course is absolutely perfect. It's everything everybody said it was. I feel very comfortable out here after having some success on the Champions Tour late last year. It's good to be competing against golfers your own age.
both felt few left needed round short
Each day, I felt like a left a few (strokes) out there. But today, I made the putts I needed to make, both the short ones and the ones that really made this round complete.
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.
best confidence events few next past played time win won
I've always said the best time to win is when you've just won, ... You have that confidence going for you. In the past on the PGA Tour, when I've won tournaments, in the next few events I've always played very well.
craig fun
Craig is just what you see. There's no disguising him. He let's you know how he feels. He's a lot of fun to play with.
rounds three
There's no cut, so I can get three rounds in,
