hard player suck
I've probably told myself I suck more than any player out here -- and I know I don't, but I'm just real hard on myself,
driven good key starts tee three
I've only made three bogeys, I guess, and that's pretty good around here. It starts off the tee here. I've driven it well and I think that's the key for me.
cannot dating late looked missed short stay
Even dating back to the late 80s when I was making everything I looked at, I still missed a lot of short putts, because I cannot stay still over them,
emotional
I've always been an emotional player, I'm an emotional guy,
bunker far good short
Tee-to-green, I'm streaky, but I'm still very good at times, ... My short game, as far as bunker and chipping, is still pretty good.
bit experience extra high kids skill week
Week in and week out, the kids have more game. But on my week, I've still got a high skill level, and that extra bit of experience can make the difference.
cash hawaii tiger
I text-messaged Tiger and said, 'No Hawaii for you, more cash for me'.
almost felt good great hole last okay played round starting third today
Today I felt good. Actually, starting out I almost felt too relaxed. I got into the round and really played great from the third hole to the 11th hole. I played okay on the back, but birdied the last hole which was nice. Two real good ones there.
birdie course happened history honestly last management playing smart somebody staying time tournament using win won
I can honestly say I never thought I would say that I actually win a tournament using my head. But honestly this weekend, I think I won this tournament playing smart golf, using course management and staying patient. I mean, somebody is going to have to find out when the last time somebody won a tournament making one birdie on the weekend. That may have never happened before in the history of golf, by the way.
driver excited good half happens hit news quite scrape shock speed state
I am excited about tomorrow. I didn't hit my driver quite as well today, but I made no birdies and I'm in half a state of shock about that. That just never happens to me. I can usually scrape one or two in somewhere. The good news is I hit a lot of good putts. I just didn't read them right or my speed wasn't right or a combination of both.
blow harder maybe rain rest slim wind
I'd like to see the wind blow a little harder for the rest of the day. Maybe a little rain will be good, ... slim to none.
miles money month next nice swim
Obviously, money is not an issue. They don't need the money, which is nice to be in that position. But it's just golf, you know? It's not a marathon. It's not the Ironman out here, swim 26 miles or something. It's just golf. Take next month off.

I was so nervous out there on the fairway.
came great hit nervous shot wind
I was so nervous out there in the fairway. I hit a great shot and the wind came my way at the right time.
