blow thinking eight
Where you can make up ground is if the wind blows and your opponents make big numbers. I think you can shoot three, four, five-under par. But to make up a six, seven or eight-shot lead, that will be tough without the leaders coming back.
golf play design
It should almost be a prerequisite to play Castle Stuart before you're allowed to design golf courses nowadays.
winning play trying
I would rather try a shot to win than play safe and finish second.
decision unemployment looks
If you add up all the federal and you look at the disability and the unemployment and the Social Security and the state, my tax rate's 62, 63 percent. So I've got to make some decisions on what I'm going to do.
daughter mother kids
My kids and I sometimes will just sit in my office and talk about what the world was like 68 million years ago. Amanda, our oldest daughter, wanted to be a paleontologist for a long time.
golf winning opportunity
I think it's more than whether or not you win or lose. It's having that opportunity on that final round, final nine, to come down the stretch with a chance to win.
golf games play
My style of play won't ever change, because I enjoy that aggressive style of golf. It allows me to play my best. When I attack pins, I stay more focused. I get more into the shot and, consequently, I get more out of the shot and out of my game by playing aggressive.
appreciate tests study
The more you study the course, the more you appreciate what a great test it is.
fun winning giving
Changing would not give me the best chance to win. I need to have fun. I need to attack.
letting-go mistake moving
The thing I was most proud of about today's round was that on this course everybody is going to make mistakes, but sometimes it's hard to forget about it and let it go. After I made a double on 1, I was able to be patient and let it go and came back with birdies on 3 and 5. When I bogeyed 6, I was able to let it go and come back with a birdie on 8. I was able to let go of some bad shots and forget about it and move on.
college thinking important
I think a college education is important no matter what you do in life.
smart trying shots
A great shot is when you pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it.
golf winning play
The object of golf is not just to win. It is to play like a gentleman, and win.
