played tough
It was real tough out there. Windy, swirling, it just played real difficult.
matter
It was a see-saw battle, ... It was a matter of who blinked first.
best best-friends dad feeling meant parents spend time truly
Dad is doing better. He's my best friend. Any time you can spend as much time with your parents that you truly love, especially when he wasn't feeling all that well, it meant the world to me.
biggest either farther great hitting normally putting weird year
That's the biggest difference, that I'm hitting it so much farther and harder. My putting is just as good, but it's been sporadic this year, which is interesting. I normally don't putt that way. This year is one of those weird years where I either putt great or I don't putt well at all.
ball bit feet four low miss past power putt seems sure threw year
That putt -- I've had that putt it seems like for three, four years, and I miss it low every year and always power it three, four feet past the hole, ... I made sure I threw the ball out there a little bit more
last major nice ready starting year
It's nice starting off the year with the checklist not as long to get ready for Augusta than it was last year when I had to make some major changes. This year it is just fine-tuning which is great.
nice
It's nice to see that I made a comeback,
greens nice putt smooth
It's nice to putt on greens that are smooth again.
areas ball close good hit pins positions pull putt shaped
A lot of the pins are in areas where if you pull up, you can hit the ball close with good shaped shots. Unfortunately I didn't hit the ball very good, so I wasn't in those positions and I didn't putt well, anyway.
field gotten major winners
We've got more major championship winners here. Definitely, the field has gotten stronger,
curious guys handful hold par playing supposed wind
We are all curious to see how it's going to hold up, playing this fast. A handful of guys are under par and with the wind supposed to blow, it's going to be interesting.
brings everywhere galleries half hear huge left people taking whistling
When we were taking the carts back to the tee, ... I couldn't hear anything. In my left ear, I'm half deaf, people whistling and screaming, and then my right ear, I'm half deaf. It was electric, it was loud, people were really into it. J. D. brings huge galleries everywhere he goes.
dry turns unless
Unless it turns big-time downwind and the fairways dry out, no, you can't get there in two.
happen harder stay
I'll stay around and watch. You don't know what's going to happen out there. It's getting harder and faster.
