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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
close doubt future home kept
We kept them close on the Americans' home soil. There's no doubt in the future we can take this thing out.
condensed feels
Everything feels more cramped and claustrophobic. Everything is so condensed and small, you have to be more accurate.
gap narrow totally
You can look at it as we have no chance, or you can look at it as we have something to prove, that we can narrow the gap the Americans have here. It's totally interpretation.
finishing rhythm
Finishing up was not a big deal. I would like to have had my rhythm going.
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.
certainly dose fair hit huge previous respect throw
Certainly a huge dose of respect you've got to throw at a lot of the putts downhill, even from 3, 4, 5 feet. Nothing you can hit aggressive. They've got a fair dose of speed, more than they had in previous years.
