ahead assure caddie last might moment needed pressure promise putt waiting
I can promise you that's not true, ... There was a lot of pressure here, I can assure you. That last putt I thought I might whiff, I was that nervous. My caddie told me, 'This is the moment you've been waiting for your whole life, so go ahead and do it'. So I did. We needed this cup. We really did.
ball club drove face generally good hit middle selection tricky
I drove the ball well, hit the middle of the club face a lot of times, good club selection generally in tricky conditions, and here we are.
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.
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.
behind course courses generally greens hide normal pins potential unusual visible
The course has potential to get more difficult, but the greens generally are very round, so there's not many pins that can hide behind bunkers, ... Everything is pretty visible from the fairway, unusual for a lot of the courses we play, even in normal tournaments.
benign conditions course scores
The course had benign conditions for us. Scores are to be had out there.
course firm guys soft vulnerable
The course could be vulnerable if it's soft and still. But if it's the opposite, firm and breezy, guys will be doing a lot of thinking.
holes left pack run running shots six tournament
You can't run away from the pack if you aren't running away from it. Running away would be six shots up with six holes to play. That would be pretty much a run away. There is a lot of golf, 25% of the tournament still left out there.
best blows example shoot shooting stays style test
If it blows and it's dry, it's going to be a traditional Texas-style test where you're not going to shoot low. If it stays still, you're going to see low (scores). St. Andrews is the best example of shooting low when it's not blowing. When it blows, it's a nightmare.
sports running conquer-the-world
We all say, 'You don't have to run around playing all these tournaments and trying to conquer the world like Dr. Evil.'
depression people overcoming
I can certainly see how people are overcome by depression.
swings car world
The top golfers in the world are like Formula One cars when it comes to their swings.
