It went good, very bad, very good, then sort of OK. Like having all four seasons in one day.
It's hard to describe the feeling. I feel like it's kind of a wedding.
The positive energy I received from the crowd was awesome. I felt like I basically knew half of the people in the gallery.
They're asking me to buy lunch a lot more often.
You never know what's going to happen, ... I could play badly - but hopefully I can be consistent and play well.
This is the third one (at the Sony Open), and they expect me to make the cut. I expect myself to play better, but I don't feel any extra pressure. I have a goal in mind -- consistent, under-par rounds. A lot can happen in two days. Hopefully, everything will come together.
Compared to all the disaster, it's such a little amount of money.
Then a couple years later, I was in a tournament and a bee comes over on my hand and stings me out of nowhere,
I was kind of disappointed on that hole, ... I felt like I should have made an eagle there, but I was still happy with the birdie.
Playing like this isn't really fun, but there's nothing else I'd rather be doing.
If someone wants to give you, like, $100 million, it's hard to say no. But I don't want to accept that kind of money right now. I'd feel burdened by it.
You have to focus or you won't play the way you want to. It was fun.
I just don't have a week to spare just to try to get into the 36-hole qualifying.
Camilo was playing awesome. And one thing I learned from him is that when you look at him, it doesn't look like he's playing 6-under, he looks at ease and it seems like the game was really easy. And he wasn't hitting every single fairway. He was like in the trees and the bunkers a lot.
