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.
ask later played question
I've played like this before, so it's not new to me. But doing it more often ... ask me the question later in the year.
certainly twice win
Certainly to win once is nice, and twice is better.
ball breaks chad good hit lucky spots
Chad had a lot of breaks and he hit the ball in the right spots at the right time. He did everything right and got the the breaks - not the lucky breaks, but the good breaks.
australian courses heath melbourne open playing royal sitting
We shouldn't be playing an Australian Open here. We should be playing on a top-10 course, ... To think that courses like Royal Melbourne and Kingston Heath are sitting there while we play this place is ridiculous.
good hit
I hit it good enough to give myself opportunities. Could have been better, but could have also not chipped in and made some other stuff.
add amount best clubs driver gets guessing hit hoping lie maybe pull science shot swing versus wind yards
I hit driver down No. 9. I didn't have the best lie and I didn't have maybe the best swing at it, but I hit it pretty good. I hit it like 150 yards and that was a two-iron. Sometimes you're just guessing how many clubs you think you need to add to the shot versus the yardage. That's really what it is, guessing the right amount of wind and hoping that you pull it off. It's not a science when it gets like that out there.
ball flying hot played seemed today
I played pretty well today because it was really hot and the ball seemed to be flying further,
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.
defeat happy race
I'm happy to concede defeat. It's a two-horse race now.
anyone australia certainly double excellent figures seen weekend
I like the wind. Australia is a pretty windy place, but certainly nothing like this. I haven't seen the weekend forecast, but I'd say if anyone got to double figures (under par) that would be excellent golf.
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.
