games learn similar
We have very similar games and I can learn a lot from Bernhard.
best game great main next player playing reason step strive win
The next step is to win majors. Do I think I can win majors? Absolutely. I think I have a great game for the majors. I'm very steady, and that's the main reason why I think if I keep playing the way I've been playing, there's no reason why I can't strive to be the best player in the world.
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.
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.
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.
believe chance great win
I've still got to believe that I can (win). If I play really great golf, then I've got a chance to win around here.
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.
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.
lose tournament win
I don't think you win or lose this tournament off the tee. I mean, it's all around the greens.
certainly hopefully last worked year
Certainly it worked for me last year - hopefully it does again.
bunker front green hitting iron playing small trying
If we're playing into the wind, that's a very small green to be hitting a mid-iron into. In some cases, I can see playing for the front bunker and trying to get up and down (for par) if I have to hit a long iron there.
courses good great last phil playing scoring solid stays tournament weather week
With the conditions, all the courses are there to make some birdies. I think the scoring is going to be good this week if the weather stays like this. Sixty-two is a great start, but it's not like the tournament is over. I have to keep playing solid golf. Hopefully, I can do what Phil did last year.
boring call compliment golf greens
We call him 'plod'. It's fairways and greens with Luke, he kind of plods his way around the golf course. He's a very boring player, which is a compliment in golf.
