chance honest lead time win
To have the lead for so long this week, it?s disappointing not to have won, ... But if I?m going be honest with myself, it?s really the first time I?ve had the chance to win this year.
certainly feels four halfway lead obviously stage tomorrow
Obviously tomorrow I'm not going to think about winning; it's the halfway point. I'm not uncharted, it feels like I haven't been there in a while, and certainly to lead by four at the halfway stage is a little different.
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.
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.
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.
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.
friend fun
Ben's a friend of mine. It'll be a fun day.
course golf good hit tend
The good thing about this golf course is that you tend to hit your whole bag, you hit everything from a wedge to a three-iron.
few forgive gave high hole left missed putt sort
I am disappointed, but at the 18th hole I gave the putt a chance. It just sort of missed on the high side, ... It was one of the few putts I got to the hole all day. I would never forgive myself if I left it short.
african ambition europe european event form hoping improve lifelong meantime mine represent south tour trying turn
I am hoping I can turn my form around as it is a lifelong ambition of mine to represent Europe in the Ryder Cup. The first European Tour event I will play in is the South African Open, but in the meantime I will be trying to improve my world ranking as that's another way of qualifying.
bad ball bit felt frame great hit large minor mistake obviously range
I am still shell-shocked, to be honest. I felt in a great frame of mind, hit the ball beautifully on the range and just got off to a bad, bad start. Every minor mistake got punished. That's obviously what Augusta is all about. It bit back in a large way today.
bought change maybe waiting
I still haven't bought the Ferrari, ... Maybe I'm waiting for my first win. You always change your goals.
bogey fact kept pleased
I think what I'm probably more pleased about than 12 birdies is the fact I've kept a bogey off my card.
bag ball driver leave pull
It got pretty hot, so the ball was going a long way. I managed to pull back, leave the driver in the bag and put it in play.
