affected balls clubhouse course finish golf hitting major might monday morning played seen tough
I thought he'd be hitting balls Monday morning at the golf course, because it's a tough course to finish on and it's a major championship. If anything, just him being there at the clubhouse and being seen might have affected the way they played on Monday.
best course execute last leaves opens plan played room shots ten
Going back over the last ten U.S. Opens I've played in, I think this course is probably the best because it leaves no room for error, ... You're not going to get away with anything on Pinehurst No. 2. You have to plan your shots well and execute them.

If you have that as part of your character - that you don't perform well under pressure - it's really important for you to know that. The game teaches you about that.
nice golf player
A beginner gets so excited when he hits the ball in the air or maybe hits a nice bunker shot. A player who has won major championships doesn't get that excited about those shots anymore.

Golf is so difficult to master. It feels like the better you get, the farther you are away from perfection.
winning race hands
That the win came only days after the Ryder Cup announcement was not a coincidence. Being a captain's pick is a huge honor, and I was very flattered by that, ... but once the Ryder Cup race was over at the PGA, I felt as if there was a burden lifted and I was able to focus on what was at hand this week.
