brilliant decisions golf good guys ideas individual respect somewhat
He's a brilliant individual and he's one of the guys that I respect the most, because of a lot of the decisions and ideas he has. I know that we somewhat stole the idea to make the World Golf Championships. So there you go. It must have been a pretty good idea.
golf winning games
The winner of this tournament doesn't just win a major. He become a part of the history of the game.
golf play design
It should almost be a prerequisite to play Castle Stuart before you're allowed to design golf courses nowadays.
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.
golf winning play
The object of golf is not just to win. It is to play like a gentleman, and win.
added combat driver huge length needed
It was a huge help. I needed the new driver to combat the added length here at Augusta.
ball good momentum next round solid tomorrow week
I still have one more round tomorrow and I want to play that, not just smart, but solid. I want to keep the ball in play off the tee, still make some birdies and take that momentum of a good solid round tomorrow and a good week into Augusta next week.
greatest masters
I still think that was the greatest Masters ever. That was awesome.
close course easily remotely
It could very easily be double-digit-over-par to win. If they make it remotely close to USGA standards, the course will be very close to unplayable.
against best competing complete conquer enjoy excited grand huge love open year
I love competing against the best players. I have a huge challenge, and that's to win a U.S. Open and complete the Grand Slam. I enjoy that challenge. Every year it comes around, I get excited to try to conquer that opportunity. I love it.
final sunday
The final group, on Sunday at the Masters, is the greatest feeling in the world for a professional golfer.
course guys lucky practiced three
When I practiced on the course I thought guys would be lucky to be two or three under par.
control game nine prepare reason sounds three
Three for nine sounds better, huh? I would say the reason is that I have started to prepare better for these tournaments and that I am in better control of my game now.
