absolutely hit remember rookie
I remember when I was a rookie and would just let it go. There's absolutely no possibility I could ever have hit it that far. Just unbelievable.
felt left shots
I haven't had too many four-shot leads. I felt like I left a lot of shots out there.
bay couple hill played shot top tournament
I played Bay Hill a couple of years ago, I shot 89 the first round, and I was in the top 80 in the world ranking. Is that embarrassing for the tournament director? I don't think so. Things like that happen. That's just part of competitive golf, and she'll get over it.
almost home intention rather
I had no intention of being here. It's almost tough. I'm a little sad. I would rather be at home with my little girl.
change
I'm comfortable with the lead. It doesn't change anything for me. I'll go out there (today) and do what I've been doing.
ball catch fun hit nicely quite
I had a lot of fun out there. I hit the ball nicely and putted great. I kind of had everything working today, just not enough quite to catch David.
adds creates director golf pressure shot top tournament
I don't think it adds any more pressure on the tournament director or creates any resentment. Hey, I've had tournaments where I've shot 89 in the first rounds, and I was top 80 in the world rankings. That's just part of competitive golf and she'll get over it.
call chip monkey shed shoulder
I don't know if you can call it a chip on my shoulder or a monkey on my back, but I shed it today.
force gets greens himself reckoned roll
If he slows himself down around the greens and gets on a roll with his putter, he's going to be a force to be reckoned with.
armour chip clean clear hands hit looked played tee toes walking
I couldn't feel my toes or my hands when I played it. I hit a chip clear over the green. I even hit it clean over the back bunker. It was actually funny, walking on the 14th tee today, I looked at Tommy Armour and said, 'Yes, I can actually feel my toes again.' He had the same thought process.
catch chances
I could only do my best, but the chances were I wasn't going to catch him.
contract control hit knew looked soon
I knew if I could take 7-iron, hit my shot, keep it down, control it, then it would be perfect. As soon as I made contract and looked up, I knew it would be good.
ball course four good hit missed playing start tough
The course is playing very tough out there. I hit the ball pretty well. I only missed four greens, which is a pretty good start out there. Other than that, I actually made a lot of good putts. I can't complain.
emotions mixed
A lot of mixed emotions. A lot of it is relief.
