against bad cushion felt hit jack left mike mother pin putt tom
It was me and Tom Watson against him and Mike Weir, ... The whole day, Jack was needling me. If I hit a bad shot, left a putt short, whatever. He'd say, 'Yeah, my mother would have done it like that.' And I was thinking, 'Did he just say something about me?' I felt like a pin cushion out there.
couple head present quite ready shot somehow thinking today
I've got to somehow regroup. I shot a couple over today in the pro-am. ... My head wasn't quite in it. I was out in space. I'm thinking too much in the past. I've got to refocus, get back in the present and get ready to play golf.
says sure
Each of us went to him and wanted to make sure he's OK. He says he's OK. He's made us very relaxed.
best goes guys perks trying whatever
It's just about always the same. I know what I like. I know where I play my best golf. I think most guys feel that all those perks or whatever else goes with a tournament, they're nice, they're appreciated, but you have to go where you think you can win, because out here that's what we're all trying to do.
bay bummer defend good job
It's a bummer I don't get to defend at Bay Hill, but I wasn't going to do a good job being there.
cameras golf incredible piece wanting wherever
I told him out there, 'I don't see how you do it, I don't see how you put up with all this every week,' ... It's pretty incredible out there. At 8 in the morning, it's packed wherever he goes. ... They're all just wanting a piece of him. They're wanting his golf ball, his autograph; cameras are flashing every which way. It's pretty unbelievable.
none partners stressful sure
We're going to make sure none of his partners put him in any kind of stressful situation.
ending
The day was great. The ending was not.
rather safe spectators understand
You've still got to get spectators off and get them safe. I understand that. I'm not a weatherman. If they thought it was close, I'd rather be safe than sorry.
bad drives except fine hit played
There is not much to say except I played lousy. Things were going fine for a while. But, then I hit two bad drives that put me in jail, and after that, I was done.
I thought they were just going to go out and kill 'em, ... That was my first impression. I said, 'Well, there's a point.'
prayer
I say a prayer for him every night.
feels great neat playing says
I think it's pretty neat he's here. He says he is playing great and he feels fine, so we've got to with what he says.
cutting hiding locker maybe problem watch watching
I watch in the locker room, ... they're great. They're cutting up with each other. I don't see any problem between those two. Maybe there is, but I can't read 'em by just watching what they're doing. Maybe they're hiding something.
