rounds
It was one of those rounds where nothing was happening.
best groups guys nice
It's nice to do it that way. Fortunately for me, the guys in the first two groups didn't play their best and let me have this one a little bit.
again circle nice tour
It's nice to be back in the winner's circle on this tour again after, you know, three-, four-year break.
air ball bit fly hoping looked mud
The ball had a bit of mud on it and I was just hoping it would fly straight. In the air it looked pretty good.
catch math next sure win won
It's going to take a while. Obviously, if I won the next 10 tournaments, I'm not sure if I would catch Tiger. I don't really know how the math works. I'd have to probably win the next 40 events.
break happened kept patient start stayed telling
It wasn't the start I wanted but I stayed patient and kept telling myself you just need one break to get it going and that's what happened on the ninth.
atmosphere brings crowd energy thrive
The atmosphere and the energy that he brings with him, with the crowd and stuff, I thrive off that.
great
It's a great start, but nothing more than that.
We'll see how I feel (this) morning, though.
club goes locker plays sign sitting twice waiting
They're sitting in Jack's locker at the Bear's Club waiting for him to sign when he goes there. He only plays there about twice a year, so we'll see how long that will take.
building great huge looking moment people playing saw walking window
You're walking up the 18th, every window of every building there were people watching. I saw Ernie Els looking out on the 17th of the (Old Course) hotel. I mean, everyone was watching. This was a huge moment in golf, and to be playing with him was pretty special. It was a great treat.
ball drives game hit
You see some of his drives ... if I could hit it that far, this game would be easy. But you still have to get the ball in the hole.
adds awkward bad character designer drives few good hit holes maybe middle shots side stance
I think a few of the holes you hit good shots and you find yourself on side slopes, but maybe that's what the designer had in mind. On 9 and 10, you can hit good drives down the middle and have an awkward stance in the fairway; I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It adds character to the hole, for sure.
helps knowing played
Knowing I have played well here before helps a lot.
