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.
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.

We hit four irons off most of the tees but it was just the nature of the golf course. You've just got to put the ball in play and move on.
believe dreams four hard kid opportunity playing thrill winning won
I've won four and, I tell you what, it's hard to believe really, just because it's the Masters. This is something every kid dreams of playing in, and, hopefully, one day even winning it. To have the opportunity to win four already is the thrill of the lifetime.

I've played well here. But this golf course didn't really handle the weather too well, and this time of year, you get rain. We've been lucky to finish this tournament on time.

It was tough out there, ... I wasn't feeling all that comfortable with my swing. I hung in there and somehow posted a number.

It was an unbelievable second shot through the trees. I mean, come on. He lands it there, just over the bunker, perfect, pin high, ho hum.
knew looked neither
The times I looked at the board, neither one of us were up there. We weren't leading. I knew 7 (under) was leading, so try to get up there somehow.
expect few
I started off well, making a few birdies, but after that I didn't do much expect read putts and get the pom-poms out,
accept came consequences move nowhere playing winds
The winds just came up out of nowhere in the afternoon. It's playing very difficult. But you just have to accept the consequences and move on.
depends greens high land low spots top wind
The wind is blowing, swirling in the trees. On top of that, the greens are really inconsistent out there because the low spots are soft, the high spots are really firm. It depends on where you land it.
bear home lucky wait win year
Every year that I've been lucky enough to win this tournament, my dad's been there to give me a hug. He wasn't there today. I can't wait to get home to see him, to give him a big bear hug.
