bit couple happy holes last maybe mistakes overall
I made a couple of mistakes on the last couple of holes but overall I was pretty happy with the way I played. If anything, maybe I was a little bit over-confident,
bit couple holes hopefully last morning post tomorrow wind
The wind made the last couple of holes pretty tough. If there is no wind when I play tomorrow morning hopefully I can post a bit of a score.

It's a funny week too. With three golf courses it's hard to prepare, so that leads to a certain bit of the unknown.

I played better today, but what's been going wrong with my game affected my short game today a bit as well.
bit conditions golf growing happy learn wind
Growing up in Ireland, you learn how to play the wind. Or if you don't, you don't play golf, one or the other. Yeah, I like the conditions here. I'm very comfortable here. I'd be happy to see a bit of wind this week.
bit challenge players question
I don't think there's any question that there was a bit more challenge for the players who started late.
bit couple key quick rounds slow struggle
The first couple of rounds are very important for me because I am a bit rusty. If I do struggle a bit it is going to be tough. The key is to not necessarily make a quick start, but not to make a slow start.
bad good jumping playing playoffs sure winning
I'm sure they're jumping on Jim's back for not winning all those playoffs. But how good is he playing to get into them? Only that he's in so many playoffs does he have a bad record. The better you play, the more you're going to lose. Because you're going to be there more often.

The ball tends to sweep into the pins at Augusta. Here, it's always running away from them. This is very tough.
blow damage easy holes keeping question shout within
On a windy day it is easy to blow yourself out. I'll take my round. No damage done. There are another 54 holes to play. It's just a question of keeping yourself within a shout on Sunday.
birdie chances couple few good holes last missed
I missed a couple of birdie chances on the last few holes which would have made it a good round. But it's not the end of the world.

In 2000, he was a phenomenal player that nobody could touch. Now, he's still a great player, but he's probably not as untouchable as he was.

I've had nine weeks off with the main priority being rest.
broke double last left second
It was a double break, that was the problem. It was right to left and I started it out there and at the last second it broke back.
