close good guys lead low might reckon scores somebody sunday
I reckon 66 might be a good number. The scores were wild. Sunday is a little different deal. There's enough guys close to the lead that somebody is going to go low tomorrow.
good might reckon
I reckon 66 might be a good number,
best friday lead might saturday sleeping
I had the lead the best part of Friday and Saturday and I'm comfortable with it on Sunday. So I might as well have it now. Sleeping on it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
chance enjoying expect ourselves separated somebody time win year
I'm very happy. This is the first time I've had a chance to win this year and I'm enjoying it. We separated ourselves a little bit, but somebody always makes a run, so you have to expect that.
It's not a young man's game, necessarily. I think we're all on schedule.
good happened happy kept moment momentum nice obviously picking round second third tournament word
I am obviously really happy to get off to a good start. It's always nice to feel like you get into the tournament from the word go. That's what happened today. I birdied my second and third holes. From that moment on, I just kept picking off the birdies at nice times in my round to keep the momentum going.
bit both finished heart hearts situation situations won
I feel in my heart of hearts that I should have won both of those tournaments. I feel like if I would have been in that situation a little bit more regularly, I think I would have finished both of those situations off.
behind eligible european force join obviously onto tour
I'm going to join the European tour as of the end of the season. That'll make me eligible for the Ryder Cup, but then I'll obviously have to play fantastically well to force my way onto the team. I'll be a little behind the guys, but if you play well ... you can do it.
attitude believed pull quit
I'm disappointed, but there were a lot of positives. My attitude was good. I never quit and didn't let go, always believed I could still pull it off.
behind good guys knew moving needed round shooting
I knew I had to go out and play a good round and make it mine. Guys are shooting 61 and 64 from behind you, so I needed to keep it moving forward.
chasing desire emotional focused gets hopefully instead ready stay wait win
I'm ready and I can't wait to win. But you can't let that desire to win take over and you can't get too emotional about it. You just have to play shot-for-shot and stay focused and hopefully that win just gets in your way instead of chasing it.
