course golf great greens guys hit learn none precise saw style time took
When I first saw the course 18 years ago, it was so intimidating. It was a new style of golf, a new concept. So it took some time for guys to learn to like it. It's a great venue, because it's the most precise golf we have to play all year. You have to hit fairways and greens there. There's none of this hit-four-out-of-14-fairways-and-still- shoot-68 on that golf course.
among birdie bit crowd four guy holes job players shame three
I'll be the first guy going through those three holes and it's my job to get a birdie or two. It's a shame we didn't get to finish. It was a bit of a to and fro among three or four players out there. It's a shame the crowd didn't get to see the finish.

Major-championship golf, you're just really concentrating on more or less the shot you're trying to hit, ... If you get too far ahead of that, you don't seem to do too well.

I was thinking to myself, 'This could be like when I won the Players Championship in '91,' ... I was in a divot, made a nice shot there.
good happiness happy hit looked tape
I was very happy with the way I hit the putt. I'd like to see it on tape and see what it did, but it looked good from my angle.

Our place was like Noah's Ark. We had 14 people, two dogs, two cats and about 60 budgies in our house.
adam anybody equipped hardest note players telling tournament wrote
I wrote Adam a note after the Players telling him that was the hardest tournament he would ever win. Now I think Adam is equipped for the majors. I don't know if anybody else is there yet.

Our contingent is building strength. It's ridiculous to think that somebody won't win one soon.

I just had a sandwich, ... and I felt much better.
ball move played
I played well. I was able to move the ball around the way I wanted and I putted well.
finished winning
I never think about the ones that got away, ... I don't think I'm finished winning tournaments. I feel really young. I may not look it, but I feel it.
