consistency golf good hopefully level memories pleased week won year
This year I have been pleased with my level of consistency, but a little disappointed not to have won, ... But having won here in 2000, I have a lot of good memories of this golf course, so hopefully this is the week that I make the breakthrough.
school years two
I turned pro and won Rookie of the Year on the South African Tour and then it took me two tries at the qualifying school on the European Tour and to get my card and the rest is history.
amongst media next point sure talking tv week
I'm sure it will be a talking point amongst the media and on TV next week but it's not something I even think of.
double knew playing
I knew he was playing well, ... But on 17 when he made double bogey, it went my way.
although knew mentally pull struggling
I knew what I had to do today. Although I was struggling with some shots, mentally I was able to pull it through.
keeping putting
I'm putting very well. I only had 25 putts. That's keeping me alive.
ball course dry nice running throw ton water yards
The ball is running 30 yards down the hill. They are probably going to go and throw a ton of water on the fairways to make it not run. But I think it would be nice to see the course dry for a change.
happiness jumps somebody
I'm not really somebody that jumps up and down, ... But on the inside, I was happy.
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.
flags lucky positions tricky
I'm going to have to get really lucky tomorrow, ... The flags are going to be in some tricky positions to get up-and-down from.
believes glad great win
I'm glad for Gary. He's such a great competitor, and he probably still believes he can win out here.
hard hard-work shot work
I'm grinding, that's for sure. Every shot is hard work at the moment.
bit closer played ran
I'm disappointed that it wasn't a little bit closer but I had my chances. Stephen played awesome. He ran away with it at the end.
afternoon bit felt good greens missed shot six tricky
I missed a lot of greens but I chipped and putted very well and holed a lot of good putts for pars. The greens were a bit more tricky this afternoon with all the traffic. I felt I could have shot a good round. I was 3 under through six and then nothing happens.
