border food foreign mexican nearest
We don't have much Mexican food, and we don't have any border patrol. Tasmania is probably the nearest thing to a foreign country.
conditions golf good solid trying
Today, was just good solid golf all day, more trying conditions than yesterday, and I just made some good putts today,
attitude coming game ideas learned mind mistakes open says sorts taken tiger trying
Tiger always says he's trying to get better. That's the attitude you've got to have. I think Mickelson has taken a very comprehensive look at his game and learned from mistakes he's made. He's coming up with all sorts of ideas to do it. You always have to have a very open mind about what you need to do.
bit blue easier proves twice winning work
It was just a little bit easier to relax. I think winning once or twice proves to you that what you're doing works, and it can work more than once every blue moon.
extra good solid steroids swing
Nothing unusual, no steroids or anything like that, just some good solid drive. If you swing technically better, you will get that extra 10 or 20 yards.
advantage bit courses crowd except favor week
I'm not sure. I don't think there's enough to say it's a home-course advantage because we really all play the same courses week in and week out. I don't think there's much here except the crowd is going to be a bit more in favor of the U.S.
addictive gets playing trying until
I'm trying to play well all the time. I think that's an addictive thing you want to get into and you keep going and keep playing until it gets out of tune.
anyone reasonably texas typical wants winds
Anyone in here wants the story to be about them at the end of the day. We have not really had any typical Texas winds that would keep us away from flags, so you can still be reasonably aggressive.
fairly finding generous pin players
The fairways are fairly generous here. Enough players are finding enough pin locations.
top
It will be one of our top 10 doing something,
came classic coast last nice played stayed west worked year
It worked out nice last year because I stayed over there, then we played the Heineken Classic (in Melbourne), then I came back and played the end of the West Coast Swing.
conditions definitely quite score somebody
Conditions were quite easy. There was definitely a 6-under score to be had out there by somebody and I was fortunate.
gap narrow totally
You can look at it as we have no chance, or you can look at it as we have something to prove, that we can narrow the gap the Americans have here. It's totally interpretation.
beach bunch few golf good likely pebble players playing separate tiger unheard
To separate yourself from a bunch of other very, very good players -- more than likely playing some really good golf -- is going to be very difficult. What Tiger did at Pebble Beach a few years back was unheard of.
