five near normal score stay
Five under is a normal score if you want to stay near the top.
birdie chip difficult fortunate four good green nice score shot sneaky thinking three walk
The par-five I made a nice little five-foot birdie putt. That was a sneaky one down the hill. Then I chipped in from over the back of the green on six. It was a very difficult chip and it went in. That was a very fortunate shot there because I really was thinking four would be a good score to walk away with, so three was a bonus.
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.
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.
benign conditions course scores
The course had benign conditions for us. Scores are to be had out there.
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.
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.
