We all know why they are playing in Dubai this week, ... The top guys can't play every week, although they are playing this week somewhere else.

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.
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,
beat best guys hopefully matter nine sunday
Hopefully all nine of us are up there on Sunday going at each other. But it doesn't matter who you are. You know if you win, you beat the best guys in the world.
bit breeze chance course guys hopefully shoot six slightly win
I'm going to need to shoot six under to have a chance to win because there are a lot of guys up there but hopefully there will be a bit more breeze to make the course slightly more difficult.
early guys playing question roll
These guys can all play, so it's just a question of getting on a roll early and playing well.
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.

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.
