best game golf knows power short surprise
Loren is no surprise to me. He understands golf, and he knows he's not a power player. His short game is one of the best in all of golf.
bad biggest both deal eight great helps hit knows left partner putting require requires rubber shot tough trying whether
It helps a great deal because I know what he can do and he knows what I can do. We both know that if we both hit a bad shot we are not going to feel like we have left our partner stranded. The tough thing about alternate-shot, whether it is here or in the Ryder Cup, is stranding your partner. It is like you are putting them out on a rubber dinghy with one oar. But you know what, we are all trying. As they say, 'life doesn't require you to be the biggest or the best, all it requires of you is to try.' And all eight of us are going to be trying our hardest.
beach choice knee knew open past pebble played surgery tee tradition wrong
I knew something was very wrong as I played in the JELD-WEN Tradition and the Wal-Mart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach these past two weeks. My play was very poor, and my knee was killing me. I knew I had no other choice than to have surgery on my knee immediately.

I wanted Jack Lemmon to make that cut at the AT&T as badly as I've ever wanted anything.
bad ball behind golf ground guy hit laughing looking playing stood swing took underneath wild
You see a lot of bad golf shots. I was playing with a guy once who took a wild swing with a 3-wood or something, and he hit the ground behind the ball and the divot flapped over the ball. He stood there looking down the fairway, and we were on the ground laughing because his ball was underneath the divot, and he didn't even know that he did not hit the ball.
demeanor dominated game looking pattern players tried
You're looking at players right here who have dominated the game for 50 years. These individuals are the kind of players who I have not only tried to pattern my game on the course, but my demeanor on and off the course.
count couple hard shot shots skins time
You never know what shot will count most in a skins game. We had a hard time getting anything going, but if a couple of shots go in here and there for us, we're right in it.
