golf trying weeks
When you live in Calgary and take 10 weeks off from golf, you're just trying to get back to basics.
burden difficult focus playing shots trying
It has been a big burden on me trying to play golf, ... It was very difficult for me to focus or even see shots that I wanted to play because there are other things that were playing in my mind.
instead letting trying
Instead of letting it happen, I was trying to make it happen,
bit canadian couple eventually guess holes issue last letting press rather tried trying win
I tried to make birdies the last couple of holes and it didn't come out for me. I guess you can (attribute) that to pressure. I haven't been in that situation. I was trying to press the issue a little bit maybe, rather than just letting it happen. I think eventually a Canadian will win this.
burden golf happy position trying
It's been a big burden trying to play golf. Other things play on your mind. I'm happy to be in this position again. It's been a long battle.
individual match might recover
You don't know in match play what can happen. He might have an off day. He might not recover from his cold. You don't know. Match play is such an individual game.

Even Tiger can have an off-day and lose like he's done in the past.
cry nine played player sit
What am I going to do, sit down and cry about it? He's the No. 1 player in the world, and he played exceptionally well for... was it nine or 10 holes? That was it.
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.
behind green sixth took yards
Sixth hole, Tiger's up by the green waiting. I told him, 'Sorry it took so long, but I was 120 yards behind you.' He laughed.
again fact following obviously past walking weight
Obviously the fact that she's out walking around and following me again like she did in the past ... has been a big weight off my shoulders.
bit easier family future happening life worrying
Life is a bit easier not worrying about the future of where the family is going to be or what is happening in the future.
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.
bit either enjoy goal majors relax win
I think I get to relax a little bit more now. It's a player's goal to either win majors or play in majors. I'm going to enjoy it.
