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.

A lot of self-doubt and a lot of demons,
almost ball bob classic hit hope looking people six surprised thomas time toe
It surprised me, I started laughing, ... Thomas Bjorn thought that was kind of funny. I was looking down the fairway and just kind of tinged the ball with the toe of my club. I did that one time at the Bob Hope Classic and hit it 60 yards. Almost killed about six old people on the right at Bermuda Dunes.
