break golf kids rather spring
My kids are on spring break and this was scheduled as a two-week vacation. The Masters, obviously, was never a consideration and now I'd have to tell the kids that dad's going to play in another golf tournament. I'd rather be going on vacation, to be honest.

definitely far level par saying winning
Let's put it this way. I'll take level par right now. At the end of the week, I think it will be pretty good. I wouldn't be far off by saying it's definitely going to be single-digits, without a doubt, winning the event.
best driven feet followed game good hitting inside iron nine seen short start
You look at the start of this year; he hasn't driven it great, yet he still comes out winning. His short game and his iron play is phenomenal. If you followed these nine holes, you know how good it was. He was hitting it inside 10 feet every hole. That's good playing. This was the best I've seen him hit the driver, too.

It almost feels like we've been kicked back to a secondary event unfortunately. I wish Tim would look at it a little bit harder - and give us a better date.
birdie couple ended fortunate holes last maybe nature opportunity scare three today
Having the opportunity to birdie the last three holes like I did today was good. And maybe a couple of fortunate times, like 18, a little scare on the 3-wood (drive), it ended up being way up the fairway and only a 6-iron in. It was fortunate and the nature of the game.

I'm proud to be part of the Making the Connection program. My father has a family history of high cholesterol and because of this and my age I also need to monitor my cholesterol closely. I understand how important it is that we take the steps to keep our cholesterol under control, and I want to encourage other Canadians to do the same to protect their heart health.

I really enjoyed the day. It felt almost like a walk in the park the way I was hitting the ball. It was a good day. Good week.

I played well. I was very comfortable with my setup, how I was hitting it, and it was just a matter of going out and being patient, or waiting for it to happen.
