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.
bogey felt fight grind mentally point saying slow sort start worry
I try to make a point of saying to myself, 'Well listen, it's out of the way. Now you don't have to worry about not making a bogey now. I got off to a slow start and felt sort of mentally I had to grind my way and fight my way back into it.
chance felt few forward grasp lead legitimate looking united win
I?ve never had a legitimate chance to win here (in the United States), ... I?ve had a few top-fives, but I felt like I?ve never really had a grasp of the lead or a real chance to win. This is my first go at it, I feel, and, hey, I?m looking forward to it.
nice nobody position sort tournament wins
It's nice just to be in some sort of position again. Obviously, nobody wins the tournament on Saturday. You just go out there and play for position.

good hit player suits tend
You tend to hit your whole bag, from 3-iron to wedge. I don't think it suits one player or another. That's why it's such a good place.
bit course learned respect
I've learned this is a course you have to give a little bit of respect to.
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.
helped learned miles million point thinking until winning
I?ve learned it?s a million miles from winning the tournament, and I think that has helped me. Obviously, there?s no point thinking about winning until Sunday. It can only get in your way until then.
certainly european feels four halfway lead stage won
I?ve had the lead and, obviously, I?ve won four times (on the European PGA Tour). It feels like I haven?t been there in a while and certainly to lead by 4 at the halfway stage is a little different.
