best driver entire feeling great struggling sudden swing
I had been struggling with my driver the entire week, ... then all of a sudden I make the best swing. It's a great feeling to make your best swing when you actually had to.
dude holding
The driver's fine. It's the dude holding it. He's not very good.
advantage ball chase course guy high hit hits last playing slower softer tries
The course is playing a little slower than it was last year, a little more receptive. It's softer this year, and if you can hit the ball high and get it out there, you're going to have an advantage over a guy who hits the ball low and tries to chase it.
depends early guys half maybe played wind
The guys that went off early probably played in wind maybe half the round, maybe more, maybe less, depends on where they were on their time. That's just the way it is. (Today) we're all out there about the same time, and you've got to go out there and play.
ball difficult far greens hard judge
The greens were hard and the fairways were even harder. It made it so difficult to judge how far the ball was going to roll.
careful greens holding normal receptive spin
The greens have been receptive but now they're holding even better. Now, you have to be careful not to put too much spin on the ball, which isn't normal around here.
absolute bad drive hit last perfect putt second shot wrong
The last hole, (I) had a perfect drive and just an unbelievable second shot in there, ... It was an absolute bad putt, it's not misreading anything. I just hit it way too hard. It was just a bad putt. Bad putt at the wrong time.
ball continued cut drive drove hit hung momentum poor seemed
I hung in there well. I didn't play particularly well. I hit a lot of poor drives, and when I drove the ball well I continued to drive it in the first cut (of rough). It was kind of frustrating because nothing really seemed to get the momentum going. When I did get the momentum going, like on Sunday, I made a mistake.
hit irons momentum time
I made a lot of putts and hit my irons decent. But I really putted well. I was able to make putts at the right time and get momentum on my side.
accept move
I'm a competitor, ... I know what I can do and it's frustrating when I know I didn't do it. You have to accept that and move on.
ball close closer few hole putting
I'm very close to putting it all together. I just need to make a few more putts, get the ball a little closer to the hole and it will be all good.
golf player thinking
St. Andrews by far is my favorite golf course in the world. It's where the game all started, it's why we have 18 holes instead of 22 and I think the history behind St. Andrews is amazing. There is no other golf course in the world that can say that every great player who has ever played the game has played that golf course.
thinking trying balance
I think life is all about having a balance, and trying to find equilibrium and not getting things one way or the other.
baseball moving player
If you're a baseball player and you're on the mound, you don't ever want to look up in the stands if somebody is yelling at you because they know they've got you. You just keep your head down, keep moving along. Of course it annoys you at the time, but you don't ever show that it does annoy you; just go ahead and move on and keep playing. If it does distract you, back off.
