low seen shot strong trying wind
I would like to have shot lower, but it was pretty trying out there. The wind was as strong as I've ever seen it. You just weren't going to see a low score.
match matches situation trying week win
Match play is a situation where you need to win your matches and be aggressive, and I think that's something that I'm trying to use this week as preparation.
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.
contention golf quality trying
Absolutely. What I'm trying to do is get better at having a well-rounded game. I know that that quality of golf is going to put me in contention more often, and that's really what it is about -- being in contention.
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.
sports winning trying
I was slightly disappointed, but also encouraged, because I put myself in position to win a major, which is all even Tiger says he tries to do.
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.
