again catch change found game move though tiger tough
Well, Tiger has found his game again so he would be a tough one to catch but I would like to move up and see if I could get into that 'big four' category, though if I did they'd probably change it to the 'big three'.
catch hard mind win
It's on my mind. If I win here and one of the two others, it will be hard to catch me,
catch nice ready roll sleep
It was nice to roll that one in. Tonight, I'll catch up on some sleep and get ready for tomorrow.
catch guys maybe tough win
If you can do well in them, and maybe win one, then it is going to be very tough for the other guys to catch up,
although felt good needed six time weeks
It was unfortunate, but you need to take some time out now and then. It put me back probably six weeks or so. I didn't play golf, but it was a good rest. I felt like I needed it, although it wasn't something I planned.
chance nine stupid three
It was an up and down day, especially on the back nine with three birdies and three bogeys. They were stupid bogeys, to be honest. I feel disappointed right now, but I have another chance tomorrow.
bit good guide phil shaky
I started a little bit shaky but I had Phil to guide me around here. We made some good putts and it went really well.
great putting
I've been putting well all week, ... It was a great match. I just putted better than he did.
few good greens last nice playing putting seeing
I've been putting very well all week, seeing the greens very well. I started playing better in the last few events. It was nice to have a good week.
blowing easy hope par played playing round tournament wind
The wind has been blowing differently and the par fives played easy as it was blowing downwind today. You can't win a tournament in the first round so I'll just hope to keep playing well,
great hands last played ten time trophy win
Ernie played very well and I got away with it at the end there. It's great to win this trophy again. The last time was ten years ago so it's great to get my hands on it again.
bit break lucky nice roll
There was about a yard-and-a-half break on the putt, so it was nice to roll that one in. I was a little bit on the lucky side.
bed goodness himself hope hours less listen people round six telling tiring travel
People are telling Ernie to travel less because he is tiring himself out. I hope he doesn't listen to that nonsense. I used to travel round the world with six children, no jet, and it was 30 hours from Johannesburg to America. Ernie's got a bed on his plane, for goodness sake. It's all in the mind.
ball believes competitor good great hit seen tuesday win
On Tuesday he hit the ball as good as I've seen him hit it. He's such a great competitor that he probably still believes he can win out here.
