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.

best drive felt god hole iron knew last ran saved thank
I felt like it was a 36-hole day. Thank God we ran out of holes. I saved my best drive and my best iron for the last hole and knew I could two-putt from 6 feet. How embarrassing to lag from 6 feet.

I've hit a lot of putts the last two days. When it works, it sure feels good. If the claw doesn't work for me, I'll have to find another job.

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.

The first three holes, he couldn't find the course. But the last 15 holes, he didn't miss a shot. He's ready.

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.

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,

I've always been an emotional player, I'm an emotional guy,

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.

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.
