factor guess guys majors media novelty talked three won
I've done this before. I have won three majors in one year, ... And I guess from some of the guys I have talked to in the media this week, the novelty factor is not there any more. You have already done it.
backing ball clean difficult fact golf hardest longer picked shots
More than the length, it's the fact that every ball is backing up. Every ball picked up mud. That's the hardest thing in the world. You can have length, and you can have longer shots to the green, but if you don't have a clean ball, it makes for a very difficult golf shot.
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.
way facts stories
Sensationalism sells: Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.
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.
ball bomb control either gallery goes hit middle normally shot towards
Not only are they raking it up, they are raking it towards the tee, so every ball that goes in there is into the grain, ... You can't control your shot and you can't normally get to the greens. You either hit it down the middle or you bomb it in the gallery over there where it's stomped down.
anyone baby black born challenge child exactly goal mother rights state united white worth
A child born to a black mother in a state like Mississippi...has exactly the same rights as a white baby born to the wealthiest person in the United States. It's not true, but I challenge anyone to say it is not a goal worth working for.
