colder hands hard
It got considerably colder and it was just hard to keep your hands warm, hard to keep your rhythm.
ability carry definitely desire determination eight focus obviously seems tiger
He's definitely on the right track. It seems like Tiger got his focus and determination back this year. Obviously he has another eight to go and he'll have to play great. But never say never with Tiger. I think he has the desire as well as the ability to carry him through.
absolutely great hard paul start
Paul got off to a great start and putted absolutely beautifully. It was always going to be hard to get back in the match.
apart couple good missing short
Apart from missing a couple of short putts it was a pretty good round.
fun game hardly lead obviously round second shared straight trouble
It was just one of those fun days. I hardly had any trouble at all. I've shared the lead after the second round for two straight weeks, so obviously the game is good.
colder longest shortest
Not much was going wrong. It's usually colder and wetter, and the longest of the courses. But with the weather, this is the shortest it has played.
bogey golf kept threaten today
Not much was going wrong. I didn't really threaten to make bogey today and kept it in play.
close definitely felt game good judgment nicely played quite shot week yesterday
I definitely feel better about my game having shot 66 yesterday than if I shot 75 or 76. I felt like I played quite nicely during the whole week. It was very close to very good golf. That's why I like to play the week before a major, just to get judgment on how I'm playing.
bad played round
I feel I haven't played a bad round here yet.
changed course gotten last since though
I feel like even though the course has changed, I've changed as a player, too. I've gotten better since last year, so it shouldn't make too much of a difference.
good hole kept telling
I kept patient, kept telling myself you need one good hole to get it started. Obviously, that was the ninth.
donald finish golf good great knew luke nice played shot
I knew if I just played Luke Donald golf, it'd be good enough. It's nice to finish with a great shot like that.
bad bit course hit quite shot
You don't have to hit too bad of a shot to be penalized quite severely. That's what makes the course very difficult. And that, coupled with a bit of wind, makes it tough.
golf play guy
The qualifying system helps the top guys like Sergio Garcia, who play most of their golf in the U.S. They can rely on the world rankings and just play their four extra events [with the four majors and three World Golf Championship events counting as seven European events]. But for the other guys it's tough, and I don't know if that can be changed. It is a tricky situation.
