certainly proud represent
When we come over here, we're certainly very proud to represent our country.
attack saw
When you saw him attack the course, well, we all wanted to be like the Shark.
course driver harder hit holes tried
There are some holes on the course that I tried to hit my driver harder than I hit it all year,
match matches situation trying week win
Match play is a situation where you need to win your matches and be aggressive, and I think that's something that I'm trying to use this week as preparation.
clean couple definitely fortunate good hit round score shots
I think that there was definitely a 6-under score had to be had out there by somebody. I was fortunate enough where my round wasn't clean and perfect, but there were enough shots where I hit it good enough to give myself opportunities and I had a couple of good breaks.
anxious
That was as anxious as I got today. That was me panicking.
ball bit climb confidence control decided due gained good grown hitter last learn length open
I was a pretty long hitter when I was younger. I was pretty wild, too. I had to learn to control the ball a bit more. Then last year, I decided to open up a bit more and I gained a good climb in distance. My length has grown due to some confidence in my swing, and some trusting. Once you get that, you can open it up a bit.
low seen shot strong trying wind
I would like to have shot lower, but it was pretty trying out there. The wind was as strong as I've ever seen it. You just weren't going to see a low score.
ball club drove face golf good hit middle solid
Just good solid golf all day. I drove the ball well, hit the middle of the club face a lot of times...and here we are.
change grab mixing start stuff
You don't change the recipe, you just go and grab stuff and start mixing in the bowl. And that was really what I thought today.
bulls hitting middle thinking throwing within
You keep thinking when you're throwing a dart, it's just going to keep hitting the middle of the bulls eye. No matter, you throw left-handed or one-eyed or whatever, you just feel comfortable that things are very much within you.
add ball blows brilliant chad fine good line looked looking nine places strokes three today wind
When the wind blows like it did on the back nine today it can add at least three strokes to your round. There can be a fine line between looking brilliant and looking like an idiot. But Chad put the ball in very good places all day. He looked brilliant.
coming last left nice victory
To have a comfortable victory has never left my lips. It was nice to know, coming down the last part of the day that things were in hand.
golden moment step tricky waiting
We don't have that golden child. It's tricky at the moment because they're all waiting for someone to step out of the darkness.
