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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
