eighteen fat giving gods golfing holes lady per until
Let the golfing gods take their toll. Kiwis don't surrender, not until the fat lady sings. Eighteen holes is still a lot of holes to play and I'll be giving it 110 per cent.
amazing amount confidence continuing deal driver enjoyed equipment experience extremely golf great happy helped last relationship secret success superior tour tremendous year
Last year was such an amazing experience for me personally. It helped a great deal that I had so much confidence in my equipment - especially my driver and golf ball. It's no secret on tour that Callaway makes the most technologically superior equipment in the game. That had a tremendous amount to do with the success I enjoyed last season, and I am extremely happy to be continuing my relationship with Callaway Golf.

Match play is such a fickle game, the format, because things can change very, very quickly with one hole, ... Paul played great. He hit a great approach on six and seven. Fortunately enough, I was able to stumble over the finishing line with a couple of wins on 16 and 17. I'm just very lucky to win this event.
