hit knew soon
As soon as I hit it I knew it was perfect.
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.
coaches gets hitting relax shot
I got back to basics, just started hitting shots. The more you relax and just see the shot and hit it, the better off you are. Sometimes coaches just gets in the way. So now I'm doing it myself, just me and my caddie.
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.
finished higher hit last nicely played week
I played nicely last week. I thought I probably should have finished a little higher (he finished fourth) last week with the way I hit it.
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.
percent sign
We see them. I'd say 70 percent of the things we sign end up in someone's back pocket, but if you don't sign they'll have a go at you.
bit create great history time win
I'd like to create a little bit of history - it would be a great way to end the year. I know I can do it. Every time I come down to Australia, I always feel I could win all three.
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.

bit cup either fast hope huge presidents team win
For the Presidents Cup team for the International side, it's a huge loss. You know he's either going to win or he's going to halve pretty much all his matches. It really makes the International team a little bit weaker, but on the other side, we all hope for a fast recovery.
eagle good
I got away to a good start, eagle on the first is good,

Greg is Australian golf. He doesn't owe the tour anything.

We both battled. At least I made it interesting.
