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.
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.
bunch golf good level likely playing separate
That's just the level of play today. To separate yourself from a bunch of other very good players, more than likely you're playing some really good golf (or) it's going to be difficult.
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.
crazy easy felt knowing mess players relaxed victories watched
I've watched tournaments where players had big victories and thought, 'I don't know how easy it would be or how crazy it would be. I felt comfortable and relaxed knowing there was no way I could mess up the tournament.
areas bit easy generally mapped mine months next rhythm schedule six sort three
I've sort of had a rhythm -- a bit like the tide. I don't usually go in areas of tournaments where I haven't really played. Everybody's schedule generally is very easy to select. Mine is probably mapped out for the next three so six months pretty tight.
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.
course eyes feels fit game sort
I sort of like the way my game feels right now. I like the course and I think the course will fit a lot of players' eyes this week.
five near normal score stay
Five under is a normal score if you want to stay near the top.
accurate condensed fit golf hide holes last nine shots six tee
Everything is just so condensed here. You couldn't fit nine holes of golf on this place from last week's layout; not even that, six holes if you're lucky. It is very claustrophobic and small. So, you have to be more accurate. I haven't been accurate enough in tee shots and/or greens, but I've managed to hide that through scrambling.
guys happy plenty
There's probably plenty of guys happy to see him down the leaderboard for a change. I don't think you're going to get some, 'Oh, I'm so sorry. What a pity.' You guys can write about someone else for a change.
few fun last putting
Putting hasn't been a lot of fun the last few months,
condensed feels
Everything feels more cramped and claustrophobic. Everything is so condensed and small, you have to be more accurate.
hear knew pay second
I wanted a second opinion. That's what I pay him for, I guess. I knew where I was. I just wanted to hear it from his lips.
