couple nine three ugly wins
The three wins this year, they've all come different ways. It was a pretty ugly back nine today, but I holed a couple of putts when I had to.
early fifth hard hit hole poor round swing
I started out pretty good. But that fifth hole is one of the hard ones and I made a poor swing and hit a flare into the lake. I wasn't that upset. It was early in the round and could still make some birdies.
Things are going your way when that happens.
advantage bit couple course courses excellent except extra felt golf last love middle played playing round sony totally week
Except for a couple of blips in the middle of my round (at Nos. 9 and 10), my day went well. The golf course is in excellent condition. Certainly, I felt it was an advantage to have played at the Sony last week. I love playing there because it's in Hawaii. I think it's an advantage a little bit just to have an extra week under your belt. But the courses are totally different.
best both card champions enjoyed events great hawaii playing spending time tour
I've always enjoyed playing over here. It was great to keep my tour card and still be able to play in the Champions events when I can. It's really the best of both worlds. Spending all this time in Hawaii is wonderful.
establish sweet win
I wanted to come out here and do well and establish myself early. That's why this win is so sweet to me.
death great names thrilled trophy
It feel great. There are a lot of great names on this trophy and I am just thrilled to death that I can put my name on it.
control good key par putting speed tough
When it's windy it's tough to control your speed and that's the whole key to putting for me. The good putts you make are the ones you make for par. ... If you can make those 4- or 5- or 6-footers for par that's huge.
bad ball hit played putter
I had one bad swing, ... I hit the ball well, but I played poorly. My putter let me down today, just went cold. I couldn't make it from anywhere.
battle break certainly course golf great week
What a week to break in. It's a great golf course and you just have to go out and battle the weather. It certainly makes it exciting.
faster hit nice thinking
It was nice that it went in. Realistically, when I hit it, I was thinking about getting it down there. I just wanted to get it around the hole. It went in a little faster than I wanted it to. But it went in and it went in pretty hard.
couple lead sixth
No lead is ever big enough. I just want to get out and make a couple of birdies early. If I can make a couple birdies by (the sixth hole) that will be my goal.
best came delighted finally finished good hit par putt round week
It was a good par on 16 and 17 was key. I got to make that putt to even have a chance. Those putts on 17 and 18 were the two best putts I hit all week and they came at the right time. I'm delighted with the way I finished. I finally finished a round off.
happens hard open people separate three tomorrow wide within
It's wide open with 15 people within three shots. It's hard to separate yourself. We'll see what happens tomorrow and Sunday. I think it's going to be a shootout all week.
