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.
days felt golf good hit hitting looked reading seemed terrible toughest trouble
That is probably one of the toughest days I've ever had on the golf course. It just felt like everything I was doing was backfiring on me. I was hitting good shots, but nothing seemed to go as planned. I hit a lot of good putts out there, but looked like a terrible putter. We were just having trouble reading the greens.
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.
birdie course crucial definitely golf high shoot
It's definitely crucial on this golf course that if you do get opportunities to have a 15 or 20 footer for birdie that you make some of them, ... If you're not making birdies on this golf course, you're going to shoot a high number. It's just inevitable.
game mental nice ready success
It would be nice to get back. I haven't had as much success there as I would like, but I think my mental game is ready for it now. I'm a lot more mature.
golf
On this golf course, ... I think that's only one hole.
concentration energy maintain stay
I've managed to find the energy to maintain my concentration out there and stay focused.
eventually hole knowing matter patient played seventh slow staying
I got off to a slow start, but I played solidly. I had some opportunities that I did not convert. However, from the seventh hole on, I got things going a little bit. It was just a matter of staying patient out there, knowing the putts would eventually drop.
good year
It's been a good year for me so far.
biggest emotions mixed relief
There's a lot of mixed emotions. Relief is probably the biggest one.
birdie capitalize course situations stress
It's a course that really can give a lot, but it can take it away in a blink. If you do have a birdie putt, really try to make some out there and capitalize on the situations because it kind of alleviates that stress on you.
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.
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.
