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.
colder hands hard
It got considerably colder and it was just hard to keep your hands warm, hard to keep your rhythm.
helps knowing played
Knowing I have played well here before helps a lot.
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.
lose tournament win
I don't think you win or lose this tournament off the tee. I mean, it's all around the greens.
anytime birdie finished great held job means proud today
I was pretty proud of the way I finished today and finished the job off. ... I held it together. Anytime you finish with a birdie like that and a great shot, it means a lot to a golfer.
games learn similar
We have very similar games and I can learn a lot from Bernhard.
glad
We were steady, nothing too great. But I was glad to come out with a win.
ball greens hit struggled today
Today was frustrating. I didn't really hit the ball too badly, I just struggled on the greens more than anything.
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.
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.
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.
