That was not the way I wanted to start -- I've had some bad rounds this year, especially some final rounds.
bad drive driving few hit hopefully quite work
I would like to go for the greens, but I keep driving in the rough. That's the problem. I hit a few bad drives. I didn't quite drive it as well as I did Thursday. I need to work on that a little this afternoon, and hopefully play better Saturday.

When I play over here (the U.S.), I have to get releases there and when I play in Europe, I have to get releases from here. Wherever I want to tee it up, I have to ask somebody if I can play. It's quite scary.

Today I found my game a lot better, started hitting the ball well and made a few putts. The first two days I hit it so bad. I hit it right into the middle of the lake a couple of times.
