ball driving good hitting iron shots
I'm hitting the ball good. I'm driving the ball well, hitting a lot of good iron shots and I'm doing everything pretty consistent.
ball close fear green hitting left matter pulling pushing putting shots surrounded thinking water
What it is, is hitting shots without fear. We all have fear in us, fear of pulling it left in the water or pushing it right in the trees. But when you're confident, it doesn't matter if the whole green is surrounded by water because you are not thinking about that. All you are thinking is putting the ball as close as you can to the flag. That's confidence.
both
We both battled. At least I made it interesting.
commit five forget hand scared six
I was too scared to commit to shots, especially those first five or six holes. Once I was 4 over after about six holes, I pretty much said, 'I've got to do something, I've got to forget about the hand and just go and play golf.

hard next sign strings stuck towels
Towels are the worst. They're hard to sign and the strings get stuck on the pen. Then the next one you sign is smudged.
happy knew whine whining
It's the same for everyone, we all have to play it so why whine about it and why not just get on with it and play. I was happy to see everyone whining about it because I knew that they weren't going to win.
