couple far motivated next presidents ready schedule sets
I'm very motivated to play the Presidents Cup. I think when I look at my schedule and all the tournaments I'm not going to play here in the next couple of months, it sets up pretty well as far as getting ready to play.
ended sure tuesday wednesday
Tuesday night, I ended up getting sick. I wasn't even sure Wednesday if I was going to be able to play.
momentum side
With a 36-hole day, one side can get a lot of momentum going.
feels guarantee
I guarantee he feels about 6-foot-5 right now.
maybe memories pull sure tournament
Memories like that help. We all have something like that we can pull upon. Maybe not in a match-play situation, but in some kind of tournament where you did something that maybe you weren't sure you would be able to pull it off. That can become infectious.
eager energy equipment excited good great meeting nike people prove reason renewed start
I think that being around and meeting a lot of their people at Nike, getting into the new equipment and all those things kind of renewed my energy a little bit. I think that's the reason I got off to such a great start in '05, because I was so excited to play and eager to prove to Nike that they made a good decision.
course exhibition four knew liked meaning opened playing three
It is long overdue for me to come back here and play. Playing here three or four years ago in an exhibition before the course opened I knew that I liked the course and I've just been meaning to come back.
definitely great players realm weather
I think with the weather the way it is and as many great players as we have out here, I think a 61 or 62 or 63 is definitely in the realm of possibilities.
coming enjoy playing time year
I enjoy coming to this event, especially this time of year when I haven't been playing as much,
guys intensity media months next people pressure reason relaxed six start talking until whatever
Guys are little more relaxed here, ... You don't have the media buildup. The intensity is there, but for whatever reason the pressure is different. This event, you don't think about it until you get here. With the Ryder Cup, six months out people start talking about this and that. The next thing you know is we're all white-knuckled.
fortunate plan time year
Yeah. We are very excited. I feel fortunate because we didn't plan anything. But it's at a time of the year where I can take this much time off.
We haven't made enough putts, and they've made way too many.
although front fun near quite seem special win
It would be a lot of fun to win here because of those near misses. Although they seem like quite a while ago, it would be special to win in front of this many fans.
goes green looks months par severe side third
The third green is pretty severe for a 245-yard par 3. The right side of the green goes up and down. It looks like something I skied down a coupled of months ago.
