ball bit draw green
I had to put the ball on the green (17) and try to make a putt. I had a shot. I had to draw it a little bit and it didn't draw at all.
bit hard hit left played robert wind
It played hard. It (the wind) was down off the left when I hit. When Robert (Allenby) hit it was in off the right. The wind was just swirling enough where it made it a little bit difficult.
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
bit control putt speed welcome wish
Welcome to golf, ... I wish we could say we could putt well every day, but it doesn't happen. The only thing you can do is control your speed every day. This week, my speed has been a little bit erratic.
bit
When you're out there playing, you're playing. When you're away from the course, obviously, things are a little bit different. But when you're on the course, you're playing, you're grinding.
atmosphere bit british factor guess major masters media near novelty nowhere open shots talked won year
I think the atmosphere is nowhere near what it was in 2000 because I had won the U.S. Open by 15 and the British Open by eight, so 23 shots in two tournaments is pretty good. This year I've won two major championships. The Masters was a little bit closer, but I won the British by five. The atmosphere is also a little different because I've done this before. I guess from some of the media I talked to the novelty factor is not there anymore; I've already done it.
bit good higher hit miss rough whether
I think it's hit or miss whether you get a good lie, because the rough is a little bit higher and thicker this year.
ball bit greens rather roll smooth though
We're on smooth greens again. Even though they're a little bit grainy, you'd much rather see the ball roll than bounce.
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.
easy exactly leave short trick
It's not exactly easy to make the short ones out here this week, ... The trick is, not to leave yourself too many of them. For the most part, I've been able to do that.
good last
Still, I'm in good shape. Better than it was last year.
hole wrong
It was just every hole you could say there's something that I did wrong not to make birdie, ... That was frustrating.
days except few last piece somehow tried weird
It was just one of those weird days where I just didn't have it. Somehow I just tried to piece it together, and I did for most of the day except for the last few holes.
last nowhere three
It was a frustrating last three days. I didn't have it, I didn't play particularly well and consequently I was nowhere in contention.
