fun
It's going to be a fun week, ... I think it's going to be fun.
australia australian biggest calls close colors dream early event green hardest jacket might morning norman obviously playing thrill watch win won
It's just a thrill to play here, ... As an Australian, this is the biggest event to watch for us and the hardest to get into. You dream of playing this event I guess, because no Australian has ever won it. Greg Norman obviously had so many close calls here. Plus, we get to watch it early in the morning in Australia before we go to work. That might have something to do with it. Plus, you get a green jacket if you win and Australia's colors are green and gold.
anybody anyone beating capable expect game games hole last mind number playing quite shame shot standard
It's a shame that he's not playing but anybody in any game is capable of beating anyone else so it is all going to be quite close. The standard between number 10 in the world and number 40 in the world is one shot over a tournament, never mind just over 36 holes. So expect a lot of the games to come down to the last hole or even further.
australia clubhouse early home roof slept
It wasn't that big a deal, ... I've slept on the clubhouse roof back home in Australia so I could get out early before the members.
demanding golf hard
It's hard to have expectations on such a demanding golf course.
coming fresh point ready starting stepped tim
There was no point coming out at 5.30, ... Being fresh this afternoon, I was ready to go and when Tim was starting to feel a little tired, I stepped in and did something.
doubt everybody five players shooting top wants
The top five players in the world will be shooting it out. That's what everybody wants to see, no doubt.
final hole pressure shot
It was more pressure than I expected, ... Every shot is like the final hole of a tournament.
bad course hit relentless
The course is still relentless if you hit a bad shot.
cold definitely
The cold will definitely make it play longer.
course dreading easy firm gap greens hit monday pins played practice shots tuesday
The greens were so firm Monday and Tuesday that I was dreading it, ... The fairways were a lot firmer then, so you hit shorter shots in. I hit 6-iron into 17 today. In the practice round, I hit a gap wedge. That's a big difference. The greens were softer, but the course played so much longer. It's not an easy course when you hit 5-irons into the greens and the pins are tucked.
