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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
helps knowing played
Knowing I have played well here before helps a lot.
bad played round
I feel I haven't played a bad round here yet.
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.
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.
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.
atmosphere brings crowd energy thrive
The atmosphere and the energy that he brings with him, with the crowd and stuff, I thrive off that.
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.
