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'.
ball couple days few found game hitting lake middle today
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.

Just about every player on tour has a bad back. It's just one of those games that does mess you up a little bit. You've got to keep looking after it.

It's very much a driving course now. You have to drive it straight. In the past, you could drive it anywhere and get on the greens. Now every part of your game is getting tested.

I think the guys would like to play this type of golf course more often, ... I think this is a true test of your golf. You really cannot get away with any bad part of your game around here.
bit game michael missed played putt roll tee
I played terrible. I just didn't make a putt and was wayward off the tee and missed a lot of fairways. Michael got on a roll at the start, but if I had played a bit of a game out there it would have been nice.

He's got a great golf swing. He's obviously found his game the last few years.

You can't really measure your game. You can shoot seven under and lose and you can shoot even and win.

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.

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.

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.

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,
