front michael nine obviously today tournament won
Michael obviously today didn't play all that well on the front nine and that won the tournament for me,
match obviously paper seen strong turn
I wouldn't say we feel like we're the underdogs. Obviously on paper we look like we are probably not as strong a team. But in match play, it always can turn around so many times, like we've seen in the Ryder Cup.
happiness happy obviously playing round start tournament win
Obviously there's a long way to go still but I'm very happy to start off like this. You can't win the tournament in the first round so I'm just going to keep playing well and see what happens.
beaten great obviously
Obviously it was a great round, I don't think it will be beaten for awhile,
besides birds cheer definitely hear knew nobody normally obviously quieter singing
One hole, you could hear the birds singing away, like there's nobody on the course. It's definitely a lot quieter out there than you normally hear around Augusta, besides the one big cheer we heard. And we obviously all knew that was Tiger.

We obviously knew it was Tiger doing something.

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

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.
