feeling missing
After missing so many, I had a feeling I was going to make it. That's one of my better pars of the year.

After missing so many, I had a feeling I was going to make it, ... That's one of my better pars of the year.
admit great stay telling
Admit no failings. Think positive. Stay in the present. Keep telling yourself: I'm a great player.
maybe shoot somebody
I thought somebody would shoot 7- or 8-under for sure, maybe even 9-under.
change hammer saw thinking
I saw what he was doing, but that doesn't change your thinking any. You know you've got to make birdies. You've got to keep the hammer down here.
awful felt hit iron might minute terrible
I actually ... felt too relaxed. I hit an awful iron into the first hole, then another terrible iron into 2 and I thought for a minute I might be in trouble.
course feels fun goes learn level played playing somewhere week
I actually like that, because then it feels like everyone is on a level playing field, ... As the week goes along, you learn the course a little more. It's kind of fun going to play somewhere I've never played before.
putter replaced sometime thrown
My putter may be replaced sometime soon, or thrown away.
balls couple eight five hole last lost missed played shot thousand today turned weeds
I played awful, ... If there weren't 20 marshals on every hole and a couple of thousand spectators, I would have lost five balls today and shot about 84. I missed the last eight fairways and was in the weeds every hole. I turned an 80, literally, into a 71.
again alone believe honestly tournament win
I honestly never thought I'd win again let alone a tournament this big. I'm just unbelievably happy. I still can't believe it.
alone course demons doubt floating golf honestly inside moments self win
I really never honestly thought I would win again, let alone on a golf course like this. I have my moments when I'm pretty good, but I have a lot of self doubt and a lot of demons that are floating around inside my head.
four gets september
I pretty much go into a semi-funk for four months. Once September gets here I kind of get re-energized.
break dead drive edge feet five front good great hit knows laid needed played score seventh shoot six three tree yards
I needed to shoot a good score today, and I did, ... I played well, got a great break on one hole. I snap-hooked a drive on the par- five seventh into the hazard. It was dead left. It hit a tree and popped out to the front edge of the fairway about 100 yards off the tee. I laid up with a three-iron and hit a sand-wedge about three feet and made a four. It should have been a six or who knows what.
course maybe scores shot surprised
I'm surprised that the scores aren't lower. With the course conditions, I really thought someone would have shot 7- or 8-under for sure, maybe even 9- under.
