chance courses fun
It's different and it's fun because we don't get a chance to play these courses very often,
chance hung putting quite win
Quite frankly, I probably shouldn't have been in the playoff. I wasn't putting very well at all. I just hung in there and hung in there. ... For me to have a chance to win the title, I was lucky.
absolute chance changes consistent exactly great major nine sunday win
I had a great year, an absolute great year, ... The changes that I made were to become more consistent in the major championships, and that's exactly what happened. I was there with a chance to win on the back nine on Sunday at every one. And that's a great feeling.
anyone bigger chance compliments events great interest list majors means money player ultimate win year
The Player of the Year means a lot because it's from your peers. That is like the ultimate compliment. The money list doesn't really interest me that much only because if you play more, you have a better chance of making more money and I don't play that many events. I'm concentrating on the bigger events. If I can win more events than anyone in a year and more majors than anyone in a year, it's going to be a great year.
chance given honor influence life maybe model positive role
I think it's an honor to be a role model to one person or maybe more than that. If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person's life in a positive light, and that's what I want to do. That's what it's all about.
anywhere ball birdie chance driver either ended figured good hitting holes last outright tournament win
I figured 19 (under) would either win the tournament outright or be in a playoff. I had to birdie the last two holes somehow. I had to take the chance of hitting driver (on No. 17) and put the ball anywhere up there where I could make birdie. It ended up as good as you could like.
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.
event home watching
This is like a home event for me, ... A lot of my friends were watching me play today.
birdie bury drew needed putt saw steve within
Once I got to the 11th green, I saw D.T. had made birdie at 10 and 11 and drew within one. I told Steve (Williams) that I needed to bury this putt and see if we can get some kind of cushion.
